AND THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE
You guys should have some awesome checks in the next few weeks. You on the list? Max those hours out!!!!

AND THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE
Have they said anything to you guys about hours of service rules changing?
Haven't heard a word. Management state up in the office. No PCM or anything.
Now the countless stupid DIAD messages is another story

In my center they are taking care of the 9.5 drivers and boning the the drivers with 12-13 hr days who don't qualify for 9.5 protections.

Today was a close call. It's not total volume #s (although it is still higher than normal) but a combination of call-outs and stupid start times for both drivers and preload given the circumstances (4:30 and 9:15)
We already filled a trailer of April 1st closures. Partly because nobody on the preload knows how to pack a trailer like an outbound loader.
The hourly employees are going to forget this

Does large scale layoffs mean we don't need you today or maybe this week, or does it mean you are no longer employed with UPS.

It would definitely start off orderly like allowing you to bump inside if you are FT. I honestly believe people will permanently lose their job from this. This is a devastating hit to all walks of life.

9.5 means more work and less chance of layoffs perhaps?

Our economy is friend'd from people not working. There could be 20% unemployment when this is all said and done. Things don't go back to normal. Businesses die. People lose jobs. The value of the US dollar will be trashed. Federal government will be teetering on the edge of default. Hyper inflation will be close.
The world will be different. Less people able to buy stuff will mean less UPS routes. Could take years to recover... If we ever do.
Letting people get the the virus was probably a better alternative.

So you’re saying we shouldn’t crash the global economy over a flu that 80% of infected people have very minor symptoms and that currently has a spiked death rate due to lack of testing?
That doesn’t sound like it’ll spread communism to a bunch of people out of a job... what’s the point?
