[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1378575, member: 14668"] Oh, it will happen....but instead of planning for it weeks ahead of time and making it work [I]properly[/I], they will wait until the last minute to make the decision and then panic and call in a token number of drivers the day beforehand, with a skeleton crew on preload, and only get a fraction of the backed up volume delivered. Last peak we had enough backed up/missed volume to run 175 full routes on the Sunday before Christmas, and Corporate gave my center manager permission to call in less than 20 drivers. We didn't have anyone on preload, so it was almost noon before we got on the road. By then, permission had been granted to call in another 20 but it was too late in the day to get a hold of anyone. It was the only time in a 27 year career that I have ever brought missed stops back at 9:00 on a Sunday night. [/QUOTE]
