[QUOTE="Jack4343, post: 412326, member: 7328"] It's kinda early to even think about next year since we haven't even been through peak yet. However, we have seen cutbacks in the Atlanta area. Most of our cover drivers are now back in the building. I've been dealing with the route next to mine being cut out several days a week since May of this year. Of course, when this happens, the rest of us in the loop go over 9.5 and even over 10.5 and they have stopped taking that route out. It's now a planned under-dispatch which means it is intentionally loaded with under 8 hours of work and parts of the route are taken away and given to other drivers in the loop to make their routes plan to over 8 hours. Back to the original topic. Will layoffs happen in January? Probably not until February because of the new "extended peak" phenomenon caused by all the gift card and online returns but it will probably happen in most of the country unless DHL ceases it's ground operations completely (as it is now being rumored) and we get our old customers back. That will save us. I think our economy hasn't even begun to get near it's bottom yet and it will get worse before it gets better and we will be hurting next year. [/QUOTE]
