[QUOTE="OLDMAN3, post: 1510077"] So, -We tried completely under-staffing last peak...didn't work so well. -We tried staffing with inexperienced temporaries this peak...Fail. Could we please try what worked for decades.... Maintain adequate staffing levels throughout the year with full time permanent drivers? 20 and 30 years ago after 8.5 hours of work 2/3 the drivers were punched out, except during peak. Then at peak you can add helpers, but you would still have a larger core of permanent experienced drivers who get it done. Of course in this age of chasing the expert's expectations for next quarter, we will do the opposite: Run a skeleton crew throughout the year, using as many temporaries as possible. And then we will come into peak with a cobbled together inexperienced crew. Going public was a money grab that ruined a truly great company. [/QUOTE]
