[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 3222526, member: 14596"] Yeah but as opposed to what? Centers that double (or more) in volume during peak have always rented dozens or scores of comfy rentals for the seasonals. Are you are suggesting UPS should keep a double size fleet of PCs with half of it mothballed all year outside peak and keep a double size staff of FT drivers on payroll and keep half sidelined outside peak? That sounds to me like a recipe for UPS delivering more packages more quickly than ever during peak...and losing money on every single one. And if they are being dispatched with an 8 hour plan and trying to work that out of some sort of van... I can assure you that is not going to be 8 hours of easy work. Most of them are going to be frustrated no end when they get to the 12th hour of that 8 hour day and 2 driver helper teams have to come take the second half of their day. JMO. [/QUOTE]
