[QUOTE="dudebro, post: 2548923, member: 11234"] They look at them very hard. There's just no way to know everything. For instance, maybe the entire company is up 2%, so you plan that way, and overall, it might even come in right at 2%. But the shipper 5 miles up the road releases 5k packages for a marketing blitz. That local sort / twilight will be saying "Who's the idiot that thought we'd be up 2%? They did this to cut staffing and screw the union/employees!" etc. So poll the shippers, most would say. I've personally gone on road back in the day and I couldn't get a straight answer from some smaller companies on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving whether they were open on the Friday after Thanksgiving. If anyone solves that mathematical chaos problem accurately, he or she will be wealthy enough not to have to worry about job conditions at UPS anymore. [/QUOTE]
