[QUOTE="DriverNerd, post: 4298960, member: 61439"] The whole Twin Cities area is completely swamped. Minneapolis, St Paul, and Shakopee (temp hub for St Paul and Maple Grove overflow - which is also the hub Burnsville comes out of) are getting absolutely crushed. I know that those drivers that work in these hubs already know this but for everybody else: [LIST] [*]We had one bad snow storm and 3 smaller snows (which for around here were very minor, but did cause minor delays). [*]We're working 70 hours per week - right up to our 70 and still not getting stuff done [*]We're not rolling any loads, just loading some package cars with over 500 stops (but hey, not rolling loads :disgusted:) [*]Tons and tons of PVD drivers working, but have almost no helpers (even with offering more money and bonuses) [*]We have drivers that haven't touched their 7000 and 8000 shelves in weeks (some are so full everyday that they can't skip their 4000-6000 to get to their 7's and 8's because there is no way to work around that much volume [*]Management won't listen to the drivers when we give good advice to help get us caught up - you know, same old UPS [*]I get a text on my DIAD everyday asking if my volume will get back to the hub by 19:45, when I haven't punched out before 22:00 in 2 weeks [*]And there's much, much more [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
