30 or 40 stops can be an extra 2 to 3 hours of work all depending on the route.

At a PCM last week, an on-road sup asked drivers that had routes with storage facilities to talk to him. The on-road said due to the building limitations, they would shuttle out the 7000 and 8000 sections of routes to the storage to be picked up for delivery. Great!
Talking with another driver he suggested something that would be cool. Create dedicated pickups routes. Can't deliver much if you have a wall of pickups in an already full truck. Plus extra time from not breaking off and driving 10 minutes away to start pickups. It won't happen I think, no way they send out a truck to just do pickups, especially at peak.

That's what we've done the past few peak's... I have 3 pickups that can blow my truck out and we worked to get a plan set so the 100-150 customers left after 5 pm pickups can be serviced.

Our center does sweeps of our bulk pickups (UPS Store, MBE, etc) to not only help the driver(s) but to get the work back to the center to be processed.
My Peak would be so much smoother if I didn't have to worry about the above two pickups.

A lot of factors go into the raise of stop count though. One of the biggest factors is the use of DIAD compared to 20+ years ago when writing on paper.
When I started my last route it went out with 90 stops a day. 7 years later I was doing 150-160 stops. The driver that bumped me off it though cries if he has 135 stops.

Volume is expected to be so heavy it has been announced that many buildings in the Metro Atlanta area Employee Parking will be replaced with 'Peak Villages' and employees will be shuttled to and from work.

"Build it and they will come" only works in the movies.
Amazon has already indicated that they intend to shift more of their volume to the Post Office (huge mistake).
Excess capacity and under utilization of existing facilities is almost as bad as not having enough room.
MDU's and other temporary facilities are the most cost efficient way to handle Peak.

There are many brand new empty warehouses around here. There were huge tax incentives to build when there were already many sitting vacant. That was because of government trying to encourage growth so those companies made money even on empty warehouses and not rational business decisions though.
Our center,Is blown out now. no extra people,no extra package cars.
What are we to do? when peak comes?

That is all true but I fail to see where it pertains to UPS and Peak.
