In years past we would hit 79-81 thousand on christmas week. We are now pushing in 105-110 thousand a day and it wasn't even december yet. Well the problem we are currently having is a major mess. The flow level, at least on our line is way past outrageous, can barely stack anything out yet alone attempt to load much.
They had 10,500 boxes LEFT yesterday. Which had to be loaded back into the trailers. I ended up doing that, (on a side note anyone who loads trailers should make more money, that's one tough job). Anyway, today that number almost doubled to 17 thousand boxes left in the building. The problem is, we are running out of vehicles and drivers to drive them. My driver was fuming and said, in his PCM meeting they told each driver is required to do more work, and that budget cuts were in effect.
On TOP of all that, AIR was running late... Just how much AIR was "running late"? 3 Full Trailers full of it. You couldn't possibly shuttle all that out by 10:20. Not to mention the 10 trailers they park in the parking lot.
Needless to say the temper level is way up there. Monday's start time is a record first 12:01 Am, lots of laughter to take the stress off, and work the best you can/the safest you can. Thanks for letting me vent that out, I feel so much better now.
