Planning on retirement at age 60. But I’m a glutton for punishment so we will see about that.

Do yourself a huge favor by financially planning now so that when the time comes to make that decision it will be based on personal preference and not on the need to keep working due to lack of or poor planning on your part.

And then the gift cards...

This adds an additional 2 or 3 weeks to peak season!
How I long for the good ol' days when those of us with seniority could take as much time off as we wanted to after peak.

Here also. I hate burning vacation time so early in the year, but the last few years I bid at least one vacation week at the first of the year.

Expect a lot local news story like this week, true or not. Its a cheap easy way to fill airtime and a good headline grabber.

I am well aware of the death at the Pleasantdale Hub, I am referring to a near-fatality at the Forest Park Hub. There were several other instances on top of that which triggered the OSHA visit. Our yard is a very dangerous place right now. We ran out of employee parking so we have corporate people parking inside the yard and we had to rent space from a neighboring business. Shiny wheels and rentals everywhere with tens of thousands of missed packages sitting on pallets outside. The inside of the building is a total disaster too. Large stacks of packages just sit in the same spot for days.

Does this happen every year there?

I always took the first week in January

absolutely hated those trailers with the hold and closed boxes that would pile up between Christmas and New Year

Totally agree. I live a Spartan existence, actually. I put away 15% in my 401k and have no debts. If I keep this up I’ll have 2 million and good cash flow by 60, all things remaining the same.

No, we usually run clean. New Division Manager that gets demoted and moved around a lot forgot to properly plan.
