That shouldn't be necessary. What is you have no time?
Natural Disasters: do right by your team

I agree with the OP!
Many years ago, I was out on a route with a sup. A hurricane is moving in (Hurricane Bob, maybe?), and everyone has been told to be off the road at a certain time...... except for us. "We'll stay out till it gets bad, cuz I want you to be able to do this alone tomorrow".
Yeah, you freakin idiot, except I still got an hours ride home (on a GOOD day) after I punch out.
Nothing changes...

In the grand scheme of UPS, you're a nobody too. Someone that should be sent home too

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
This is why I'm the first one to bring it in when weather gets bad.
I've got a 55 mile drive home on mostly crappy 2 lane roads.
The packages can wait.

I'm just saying. Everybody acts like we make the call. Very rarely does it rest at the center level. It's a lot different perspective for people who are making the decision to run or not.

South fl people I feel bad for u guys. Call in Friday and do what you gotta do. Take care of what you neee to ups can wait
If this bitch stays at 185mph sustained... by the time it gets to me it should be worse than hurricane charley which ripped off shingles and had my roof down to plywood with leaks. I'm in a new construction house and gonna be taking in some family. Hopefully it ends up better than charley. I been downplaying this storm as the media has overblown every storm since charley but now I'm starting to get a bit concerned. Lots of family and friends in Miami that I'm starting to worry about. Most planning on riding it out...
Everybody be safe... do what you gotta do. The packages can wait

Do not think you are working Friday.
" Broward County Mayor Barbara Sharief said Wednesday that mandatory evacuations have been issued starting at noon Thursday for all residents east of U.S. Route 1, known as Federal Highway, including all barrier islands. "
