[QUOTE="bigbrownhen, post: 663370, member: 20495"] I am guessing the higher volume is due to the weather delays(if any) out east, all the free shipping offers online and return/exchanges of gifts. It will taper off in a week or two to normal levels. It would be nice if it would stay up due to a better economy though. We have several drivers that were back to part time last year, I'd like to see them back to full time driving. I can see your point as how UPS will utilitze the helpers since they are cheaper labor. We all know its just numbers to them. I do believe that all drivers available were working, and helpers were part-timers, not the layed off drivers back to part-time, no outside hires. At least in our center anyway. There has been alot of speculation as to how low the volume will be after the holidays, routes being cut or eliminated, and major lay offs. Lets just hope things won't be that bad. I like my current route(don't want to get bumped) and want to see the drivers at the bottom of the seniority list driving again. Time will tell.... [/QUOTE]
