Light 'em up!
Are they going to start running weekend sorts and feeder runs that run 24/7?
Probably not, unless FedEx starts. (I know, we have weekend sorts and weekend feeder runs in some places already.)
Because as it stands right now they are running Monday volume on Saturday.
Correct.
No delivery volume left for Mondays except for businesses that are closed on Saturday.
Saturday is mostly for residential. Very little business delivered on Saturday. So Monday volume is business and pickups.
So pickups are really the only thing that will be done on Monday?
See above.
Why is this a money maker?
It's not. It's the cost of doing business. It's to please Amazon, Walmart, Kohls, Jet, etc.
The USPS and FedEx delivers on Saturday. If UPS wanted to keep some of this online volume, they needed to deliver on Saturday.
Simply put...it is all smoke and mirrors with no real return.
The return is to keep the volume, instead of it going to the USPS and FedEx.
