[QUOTE="IE Guy, post: 274110"] Since about 2000 there has been a volume spike the week after thanksgiving. I think a lot of it is the 'black Friday' effect. If this year is like past years, the volume spike will die down by 11/30 and stay relatively low for a week-and-a-half or so, there will be panic that the centers are 'overstaffed', routes will be cut, rentals returned, and helpers cut. Volume will pick back up in the days closer to Christmas, but it will take a few days for the corporate people to react and allow the centers the resources they need. Centers will finally get what they need just in time for the tidal wave of packages the week leading up to Christmas, but because of the delay hours of service will be a problem. Happens every year.
