Peak 2015. The sky is falling.

[burrheadd]

I got the memo about 2 weeks ago.

Have cleaned gutters, mulched leaves, prepped flower beds, and did fall house cleaning and stock up on extras for Thanksgiving dinner.

Have to do my part to keep home environment as stress free as possible so my guys can go through the crazies of peak.

How many "guys" you got?

As long as I don't get the truck with no power steering, high step, stick, and over a million miles again this year I am ready.

I can't wait to see the look of regret on my access point guy's face when I'm bringing him 40 packages a day for four weeks.

He was complaining to me just today that it was a hassle because people weren't coming to pick up their stuff.

 

[3 done 3 to go]

dont believe any of you...I DESPISE mid October to mid January

I'm the opposite. Love Sept to the end of Jan. It's Feb to Aug when they cut areas they don't need to cut. Instead of training for the next peak

Meh, it's been like this all year for guys like me.

Please forgive me in advance.

Radio heat. I've never complained about being put in a rental.


Worst part is no back up camera.

Peak Mode or Methods?

I've heard from reliable sources that staffing will be 60% of last years. Whether you want to believe me is your choice, but I've got some really good ears on the track.

I posted this on OCT 4th, 60% staffing of last years numbers while UPS maintains it's going to run basically the same. Like I said, believe me or not, it's not going to change what I've been told.
