Saturday after Thanksgiving

[TearsInRain]

IE.. LMAO.. so now that you have browned up, what was your ORION trace % and what was your over allowed?

why would i use ODO on a route i don't know?

 

[TearsInRain]

and finally the "it'll make Monday easier" (which anyone with one or more brain cells knows is false).

completely wrong, most buildings have monday's planned around a 9 hour day right now, to get the pickups in and protect the network

if you didn't run so much work on sat, you'd be working up to a 14 hour DOT, the network would stall, and the rest of peak would be a giant catch-up

Yeah sorry guy, that may be the way things work at some rural outpost in the midwest but it's just not the case here in New Jersey.

It's been tried before. It's made a negligible difference.

you don't know what you're talking about, it's the rural buildings where it doesn't matter

the urban/suburban buildings cannot handle that much volume on one day, it has to be split out

I must be brain dead but it is obvious to anyone with half a brain that working on Black Friday DOES make the following Monday that much easier.

I say the same thing. The same people are getting packages Friday or Saturday as Monday. If I bring one each day or three to the same address on Monday, WGAF? Rather have my contractual holiday.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

In my center, the lowest guy on the seniority list is top wage.

You are telling us that you have no one in progression nor any seasonal/casual drivers?

BS.

It matters just as much whether you are in an urban or rural center.

 

[slaveofbigbrown]

Our PDS told a few of us that Corporate has not decided if we will be working any Saturdays at all.

What have you heard, if anything?

Our building will be working sat from here on out. No force. We can work whatever how many hrs we want.

Then how come those guys in that local, which doesn’t work Black Friday, are able to accomplish peak successfully?

it's not about the stops, it's about the preloads ability to process the work

if the preload goes past their peak capacity, it rolls, that's all there is to it

inside ops is pure math you can't just "get it done" when you're 25-30k over your processing capacity and 20-30 vehicles over your load capacity.......

Define successfully.

 

[MyTripisCut]

Define successfully.

Not on the news? Or even here, about any kind of service failure.

I was referring to the dispatches.

We worked BF and every Saturday thereafter last year. This helped to spread the work out more evenly without excessive dispatches. Yes, it was busy, but not nearly as busy as it could have been.

Before last peak, I had five days of 400 or more stops, in the past 12 years. Last peak alone, I had five days with 400 or more, and 350 up quite a bit. With us working Saturdays and Black Friday, We are doing more every year.

Too late

You like being wrong for the sake of being wrong.

No but I do enjoy calling out BS wherever and whenever I see it.

You may need to change the batteries in your detector.

Put a fresh set in this morning.
