The freight has been shuffled around. Unfortunately, the other hubs lack the capacity to absorb much more than what they normally process. Can't really do much to move it around to ramps because there's a ton of outbound freight sitting at ramps already.Agreed but to continue to have flights scheduled to go to Memphis, after the first day weather shut the city down, plans should have been in place to have volume move through either another hub or have it moved to multiple ramps and trucked, if possible.
To clarify: the "hairy doorbell" is a barking dog.I think you can get arrested “ringing the hairy doorbell” at a customer location.
And if all available containers are already full of freight?Agreed but to continue to have flights scheduled to go to Memphis, after the first day weather shut the city down, plans should have been in place to have volume move through either another hub or have it moved to multiple ramps and trucked, if possible.
I had read Memphis only has something like 4 salt trucks and 6 snow plows for the entire city. A little foresight could have had some volume moving rather than virtually none.

One hour--are you kidding? They de-ice planes up here in less than 15-20 minutes. They use 2 sometimes 4 de-icing trucks on a plane at one time.And it takes about one hour to thoroughly deice a cargo jet.
We have 2 of our own with the capacity to "case of beverage borrow" up to 6 more for our little podunk station, so you cannot tell me that MEMH doesn't have at least 20+ of them.Really? I guess if they have 2 or 3 to use. I was going by what my manager told me. She managed the ramp for many years.
1H if you're using a Saab 340 deicer run by Mesaba crews. In other news, rod's now having flashbacks of his UPS days.One hour--are you kidding? They de-ice planes up here in less than 15-20 minutes. They use 2 sometimes 4 de-icing trucks on a plane at one time.
