We were told today that Wednesday would officially be Peak Day. I had 212 stops today and we got the last one off at 6:00PM.
Our idiot center manager told us the same thing at the PCM on wednesday. Thursday was HIGHER and TODAY is WORSE than both of those days.
I have worked 13 hours a day for 4 straight days, and today, PDS shows my route at 315 which is 50 stops higher than yesterday. I couldnt get done on wednesday I had 215 stops and couldnt get done, yesterday, I had 245 stops and couldnt get done, and today they shove 315 stops on the car.
Does UPS really know what is going on in package? All this technology and they dont have the first clue how the operation is running.
Even though they know the work cannot be completed, they continue to shove it all in the truck. They give the same old excuses as you drive out, "dont worry, were going to send you help" but as the day goes on, there is no help as everyone else is screwed as well.
The help comes in the form of this message.."stop delivering, return to building and sheet remaining packages as missed".
The reason? We are sitting on PICKUPS that wont be processed if we get back to building at 10pm.
This peak has been the biggest disaster since 1992. We have seen bad peaks in the past, but this one takes the cake.
By the way, I just broke 102K this year on last weeks check.
Peace
