If year after year UPS continues to exceed this 4 to 5 day over-capacity situation, then UPS will probably look at the infrastructure of the UPS US system.I was speaking about peaks in general. There is usually 4 - 5 days where the system is pushed beyond capacity and has to catch up.
My contention is that when this happens, the plan is working as planned.
I know that the US ground volume has not decreased as much as predicted over the last 5 years.
Surepost had something to do with that but pure ground has held on better than expected.
Maybe this peak will be the final straw/turning point.
Many of our hubs and large centers are based on outdated technologies and design.
Many of our hubs were not designed for 53 foot trailers.
Let's talk about this in 5 years!
