[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1482240, member: 14668"] During the last 2 weeks of peak season in 2008 we got hammered with the heaviest snowfall our area had ever gotten in recorded history, with totals equal to what we get in an entire [I]decade. [/I]By Christmas Day we had tens of thousands of missed stops piled up in trailers that were being left in the employee parking lot because there was nowhere else on the property to park them. The snow didn't start melting until the 28th, and on New Years Day every driver in the building was required to report for work and we were all out until the middle of the night getting the mess cleaned up. We even had 30 drivers from other buildings show up in package cars after we had all left so that preload could run a "B" sort for the volume that wouldn't contain in our cars. In that case, I was willing to deliver that late was because the stops I had were for in town, it was New Years Eve when everyone was still awake anyway, and management was doing everything they could realistically do in order to make service on the backlog.[I][/I] [/QUOTE]
