[QUOTE="705red, post: 442140, member: 5229"] 3 months ago dhl was in business with only rumors floating around. Gas is now $3 a gallon cheaper than 3 months ago. Ups predicted (magic ball) several months ago that this peak would be mild. So no new seasonal drivers, very minimal rentals and they are looking in to plans on laying off and how many come the first of the year. How about coming up with a solid game plan for the next 2 and a half weeks to get us through Christmas! I have read that other places were hit "expectantly" with more volume this week. I can see missing projections by a hundred pieces or so, but we had a day this week were we had 16,000 more pieces. If a driver brought back 1 piece and forget to scan it he would be talked to, but if he brought back 10 he would be fired! But its ok to drop the ball in the ivory tower to the tunes of hundreds of thousands of packages. I could only imagine the outcome if us the drivers went out with the same lack luster approach in delivering these packages as what was put in to "guessing" the numbers. [/QUOTE]
