Compare Covid/summer peak to Christmas peak??

Thatā€™s Craptacular
Very bad. Not enough drivers and trucks.
They just cram everything onto the PCs we do have.
Cramming is a bad strategy. Means you have to stack out more, which slows you down trying to maneuver around all the crap, which just leads to more stack out. Before you know it your whole section is blown out and the belt is going down every 5 minutes.
We call that Thursday.....or basically anyday that ends in Y.

There are few stark differences,

1. hot as hell

2. no helpers

3. zero Christmas cheer

4. no definitive end in sight

5. no Christmas gifts

6. Lots of outdoor Paraphernalia (bbqā€™s, patio heaters, patio furniture).

7. Looting and riots

8. Not fully staffed

Iā€™m sure thereā€™s more but thatā€™s off the top of my head. In short, it sucks!!!!!
Plus all the employees on vacation that they canā€™t cover for lol.

Mmm, Mombasa!
It's heavier in my building than a normal peak. Random example is our center usually does 30-32k volume during peak......this tuesday we did 35k.

we have 12 trailers of literally just irregs in the yard.

it is peak season numbers in the heat with no helpers
We have been doing average 60-65k a day.

Come mid July many people will be going out on 1 of 3 things.

Work comp, disability or FLMA

And thats on top of max vacations.

Good luck UPS.

Well it's begun. We now have 3 drivers on stress leave. 2 new ones on TAW.

Company is trying to blame the union for the heavy routes because they won't let them use outside PVDs.

We don't want outside PVDs. We want FT drivers and we want them to stop disqualifying them for fake numbers.

God forbid they qualify someone. I wish our 6 seasonal drivers had told them to Pound sand.
