Some places had more problems than other but the only WIDESPREAD failure was air on Xmas eve. The reason was Louisville simply couldn't handle volume. Not much we could do about that really. The 70% increase on orders December 23rd overwhelmed the system.There was NOTHING in this article other than SPECULATION from a FORMER executive for DHL, a company in the USA that suffered the largest ground failure in recent memory.
He adds NOTHING to substantiate the business side of this years christmas failure. He blames Weather?
He mentions NOTHING about the cutbacks in staffing, the reduction of trucks on the road both feeder and package. He mentions NOTHING about the excessive hours by package drivers across the country attempting to do more on longer days on the road. He mentions NOTHING about UPS failing to properly forecast volume despite its claims to having the most sophisticated forecasting mechanisms in the industry. He mentions NOTHING about the failure of hiring additional seasonal drivers to ease workloads and properly delivering packages on their schedule delivery days.. He mentions NOTHING about the thousands of "MISSED" packages that were rapant across this country. He mentions NOTHING about IE and its division managers predicting in november that volume would be LIGHTER this year than in previous years and that packages would be SMALLER thereby reducing the need for additional capacity.
Instead, he blames a snowstorm as the ultimate cause of failure.
If you are inclined to want to protect the UPS failure, then this guy is your man. A spokeshole without the FIRST CLUE about the UPS operations at ground level.
Sorry FOLKS, but the burden lays upon Scott Davis and his industrial morons who bought into the "OBAMA ECONOMY" rhetoric and failed to "GET THE BIG PICTURE".
"expect the unexpected", "look outside the box", "leave yourself an out",
Endless rhetoric given to us everyday and yet the very company that needed to depend on this rhetoric failed to GRASP just a single one.
I BLAME the company executives for a massive failure and further, attempting to use spokesholes to blame the customers and shippers.
TOS.
Then I wish for those to find some kind of inner peace. Everyone deserves it.People who hate everything,hate themselves and hate hearing anything supportive of themselves.
Amen, brother!Then I wish for those to find some kind of inner peace. Everyone deserves it.
ThanksAmen, brother!

I'm too drunk right now so I didn't read past this sentence. I'm sure you made a great point.
But... cutbacks in staffing? You must be referring to UPS's daily routine...
