Getting through peak

[old levi's]

Just sucked it up, and pushed on through. 31 "peaks" done. This will be my first "holiday season" since I was a teenager. Retirement is great. Good luck to you all!

Christmas tree
football
Bourbon

I wanna read some of you old timers responses to this question; what do you do mentally different during peak?
I made book in January. Loaded last peak, so I know what it LOOKS like. I also worked on a cruise ship for a couple years which required 12+ hour days for months at a time with no days off. I know I'm gonna be fine, just want some advice. Do you slow way down to compensate for the extra work????

9.5 hours or under through peak, it’s company wide, you’ll be fine.

Don't buy into all the hype about peak, it's just another day at work. Do it the same way you do it the rest of the year.

Exactly more stops tighter area the only thing that sucks is the late wraps....but it’s free $$ standing on the belt lol.

Drivers rolling in at 9 here. Monday at PCM, “this is the most prepared we have ever been for peak.” Not even Thanksgiving yet and we can’t keep guys under 12.

I do absolutely NOTHING different. Names and numbers on the calendar do not dictate my work habits. You should work with the same safety and pace in mind every single day you punch in and take the wheel.

Lost time? While waiting for my pickup in the back of the truck....

I have told all of my drivers if they masturbate in their truck don't be spraying stuff where I have to touch
