Our center was told to run 37 routes today; 52 routes went out- all over 10.5 hours. What reports and forecasts are they reading?
Hopefully Soberups will not see this.
This will blow his whole theory that some pimply faced geek in Corporate I.E. decides how many routes each center dispatches.

Gets you in an hour earlier not taking lunch?
We are the best. We bitch and complain but when we go to bed at night we know we are the dominate worker in the industry. This counts for most and me for sure. At a boyFor those of us who are drivers, there is a certain feeling to this day. Surviving the long hours of "peak season" , may not be different than the long hours of the rest of the year, but the work is faster pace with more pkgs and expectations. So to make it to Christmas Eve with the body a little more tired, and the mind a bit more weary gives us acertain feeling of accomplishment. putting all the "hourly vs. company" aside, take a moment today to get a feel for the sense of accomplishment we all deserve. It really is pretty amazing. This will be my 26th and last "peak day" before Christmas going to work for UPS, and I will savor it. Because for all the crap we endure, we all know there is a sense of pride in the accomplishment. Merry Christmas to all my "Brown" co workers!
Was told it would be a early day for all. Most didn't punch out until 6:30 which was a little annoying. I understand getting in all those last gifts but how about drivers spending time with family? Isn't that important as well?
Done at 4:15. Even sat for lunch at Burger King. Only day of the year I don't have the pressure of 35 pickups.
My helper and I were done so early I decided to make a courtesy sweep of my pickups as they are all on the way back to where my helper had parked and to the center. Most were closed and those that were open had little to nothing going out except for the UPS Store---they must have had 80 pkgs going out. I knew that they weren't planning on using my pkg car on Wednesday so I cleaned them out and will let the metro take care of it Wednesday afternoon.

You can bet that center manager is going to get their ass handed to them on Wednesday for not following instructions. Although it was the right thing to do.Hopefully Soberups will not see this.

A Couple of people tried to hand me ARS pkgs and I said no pickup today.
