The brass in Atlanta should go outside to day. Its in the 30-40's. Maybe they will realize it will snow in many areas between now and Christmas. You would thinks after the ice storm in Atlanta last year that left people stuck on flat ground for hours our corporate executives would realize peak production is impossible in wintery conditions.
...yet somehow we do it every year here in snowy Upstate NY...
Upstate do they have magic carpets up there the keep you from driving on slick/unsafe roads?
Cold as hell but they can deal with it, long as the planes can land
And we do it every year where I am. The truth is in order to work safely in less than favorable conditions you have to work at a slower pace. Even if its a half a stop a hour reduction. In my case I run 12 stops a hour, if I have 144 stops and I drop to 11 stops a hour because I have to reduce my speed and walk slower to and from stops then I can only run 132 stops in 12 hours. The folks in Atlanta don't understand that simple math.
Wow..so you are saying that if it is icy out your production only slows down to 1 less stop per hour...seems like you should be slowing down more than that...you sound like a runner gunner...that is until you fall on your tailbone and it feels like your lower spine got cracked open....its happen to me once and it didn't feel good
Maybe they have transporters,that's the only thing I can think of in upstate's perfect world!And we do it every year where I am.

I love the cheerleaders and happy UPSer.com videos, but be honest "Are you and your center ready for Peak 2014?"
