[QUOTE="outta hours, post: 793317, member: 4568"] Merry Christmas to all of you. And especially your families. It's "peak" for them also. It takes a toll on them as well. The long hours, the missed family activities, the mood we are in when we leave & get home after another long day. When you know tomorrow will be even busier. It's tough on feeder families too. Longer hours, longer trips, shorter or split sleep schedules, etc. I get a text every night from my son telling me to be safe. He & my wife know the dangers of driving 600 miles each night. Most people can't stay awake all night, much less navigate 80,000 pounds with 1,2,or 3 trailers down the road safely. But that is what we do. I know how tough it is, this was my 26th peak. 20 of them were in pkg. car. Funny how looking back some of the worst ones, are the ones you reflect on the most. The bad weather ones, the goofy helpers, the ones with insurmountable stop counts. It leaves you with a good feeling somehow. One of pride and accomplishment. Knowing you did something few others could do, or even understand doing. And that's the thing, we do it because of who we are. We do it right even when no ones watching. Our work ethic is second to none in any industry. You all should be very proud of who you are, and what you do each day at UPS. I know that I am. MERRY CHRISTMAS. [/QUOTE]
