PEAK?

[Cactus]

At my station just north of Boston, I don't think it's begun yet. Management is still limiting OT and complaining about gap times.

Too bad for them.

When will they learn that it won't do them any good? Always stewing over yesterday instead of trying to improve today and tomorrow.

Who ships cake?

We do. Mars ships specialty cakes up here and sends them overnight with Express because they're perishable.

The 'help' they hired to help me during peak did 7 stops in 4 hours (all on one street) and got lost trying to get back to the terminal. Looks like another peak with no help.

They are building them so fast that even GPS doesn't have some of the streets mapped

I have 3 new neighborhoods on my route with more being built. Walk into the model home and get a map of the new 'hood and make copies for the swing drivers in your station. Much less frustration for everybody-

Make sure to give a copy to whomever sets up your dispatches.

I'm in a station that doesn't have DRA, so it's all on the couriers. No GPS or maps provided for our routes. But yes, good idea.

Our PDS is on the Post Office e-mail list and receives updates as they occur.

At my old station we had a couple routes that new developments would pop up on constantly. But nothing like out here, they are just constantly building it seems like

Whenever peak comes i always aim for 9 hours everyday, a nice simple 45 hour week just to pad the pocket, but of course that ultimately turn into 55 hour weeks. But thats no different than every other non peak week working here

No. Really. The worst they can do is remove me from their schedule K bonus program (which kinda sucks anyway) for non performance. Oh well.
