[QUOTE="werenotthepostoffice, post: 1993967, member: 59155"] Greetings to my brothers and sisters in Purple,how was this past peak at FredEx? I gotta say ours,at my center,was not bad at all. We had a few super heavy days and some new drivers that were,absolutely,lost and needed to be bailed out. But compared to past peaks,we were not that bad. Talking to our center manager,we were considerably heavier than last year even heavier than the cluster :censored: that was 2013 and we got through it unscathed. But we cannot expect peak 2016 to better than this year because we have no idea what Amazon will do. I will say I did see less Amazon than previous years but an increase in all the other shippers. Target and WalMart on line sales had to be a record because I saw at least double the volume from them. And LL Bean was crazy busy on my route. We are,as a corporation,worried about Amazon but there may be a silver lining;As their volume drops,it allows us the space and time to focus on other shippers. We are not going out of business anytime in the near future. UPS will,begrudgingly, make appropriate changes and continue to do what we do. I see FedEx gaining more share as they are smaller and this allows more flexibility. Oh well,we will continue to do what we do,deliver boxes. [/QUOTE]
