[QUOTE="ups1990, post: 3232132, member: 20195"] What's happening around the nation is a result of this whole ORION planning, numerical approach to deliveries. Our center manager before thanksgiving said to one driver that we were ready for peak as far as drivers and trucks were concerned. I asked in October, when are we training new peak drivers? Was told "what you see is what you get" No doubt in my mind that this current situation at many different hubs is a result of Orion honks. Did they look into how many drivers were working over 9.5 during the calendar year? Didn't take rocket scientists-brain surgeon to see that nationally we are understaffed for drivers. I don't know how we'll be perceived at the end this peak and if all those deliveries will me made by Xmas but moving forward it doesn't look promising. There will be a large number of drivers retiring in the next 1-3 years from now. [/QUOTE]
