Signs of............. PEAK!!!!

[over9five]

Let's face it, summers gone. And with that we have to start planning for the season we as UPSers love most of all. PEAK!!!

Already heard the big guy here is looking for CDL drivers in package to come on over to feeders for Peak. I took that offer last year, and ended up staying.

What have YOU seen in Peak planning so far this year?

"Peak" and "planning", two words that just dont go together in a sentence!!!!!!!!!!

[Big Babooba]

You're not supposed to use 4 letter words in this forum. I'm surprised that the filters and moderators let it get by them.

Only planning they'll do is overdispatch the drivers

Peak has gotten progressively worse each year over here in Spokane. When I first started utility driving, the hired peak drivers...lot's of them. Up to 20 my first peak as a driver. Then they hired 10 the next year. Last year, they hired none off the streets and trained a few part time sups (apparently they're going to advance through the ranks of management...) and they loaaaaaaded up the drivers and they all had helpers. I'm glad I'm not part of the peak driving brigade this year, cause last year was a nightmare. Thank God that my wife is back to full time work and I get to watch my girls. I only have to deal with peak holidays for air drivers. And I park cars so the worst thing I have to look forward to is drivers showing up at exactly 12 hours so I can get my line parked.

We have already had bunches of fireplaces come through sicce about 2 weeks ago. That usualy means that the cold is coming, and unfortinantly, peak...

[UpstateNYUPSer]

Yeah, the Amish have been busy as we have had quite a few of them come through here as well.

OMG... That's what those stupid fireplace things mean. I've been seeing a fair share of them lately. I started last year during PEAK. I had a reaccuring nightmare about a fireplace. Actually, I lived the nightmare. I kept loading this stupid thing on a truck and it kept coming back for three days. I am so gratefull I no longer load trucks.

But, planning, what's that....I noticed last year it was just planned choas.

Volume never dropped from last peak.
