[QUOTE="Channahon, post: 282345, member: 7666"] Do you think the weather was a factor? The IE dept plans peak volume on trends and the economy. Weather is never taken into consideration, although weather can and does have an impact on service to our customers and our drivers hours of service. So is it possible drivers are out of hours, due to weather related delays and not poor planning? As far as helpers go, that is always a crap shoot. A good manager who know how to utilize helpers, can hold onto them. On the other hand, some helpers spend one day on the road and figure "who needs this?" Before I left UPS we used inside helpers, before outside helpers, knowing they are already at work and will be available for the most part. UPS knows how hard their employees work during peak season, and recruit helpers who are relatives as well, with the thought the work ethic would be similar to our seasoned employees. Just my thoughts and experience over the years Merry Christmas to ALL [/QUOTE]
