[QUOTE="Channahon, post: 307752, member: 7666"] Imagine a huge snowstorm in any part of the country. Then the region who has the overall perspective of moving packages, let the district know, Hub A, B or C etc. will not move any packages, due to roads being closed ( interstates) so, then the conference calls begin, the IE dept tells you what volume to expect, and based on the forecasted weather conditions: How many drivers do you think will make it to work, what roads will be open, etc. So there you have a short synopsis of how to cut costs on a day where the weather may not make it feasible to put all routes on the street. If I remember right, Upstate NY was getting hammered recently will 36 inches of snow, now how can anyone make it to work - UPS or not UPS. Just my experience over the years. It's not a matter of cooking the books, it's a matter of doing the best you can with the information provided. And just so you all know, these conference calls go on until all hours of the night for updates. So you may be at home, watching the snow come down, having some family time, perhaps an adult beverage, and the updates keep coming until the preload starts. Now most of you will say, this is the price for being in mangement, and it is. However, the most gratifying part is getting as many package delivered on these types of weather conditions, as to not to have a snowball effect ( no pun intended) and get back to business as usual.
