[QUOTE="splozi, post: 919265"] Peak was very nice for me in preload. There were a few days of total mess and chaos, but overall... my area never saw more than 1200 pieces (according to the forecast sheets, which are commonly inaccurate). I was told to expect 1600 - never happened. Maybe it has in the past, but not this year. The only thing that changed is that I was given a fourth truck, which was a route split off from one of my other trucks. For the last two weeks of peak, we were working 7-hour mornings. The extra time allowed for pretty comfortable loading, but it got to be very tiring. My expectations for after peak were not very good, based on what people here (on the forum) were saying. Specifically, that volume would still be up, and all of the extra routes created for peak would be cut. Well, maybe that is true for some parts of the country, but not here apparently. According to the forecast sheets, I had 560 pieces on Tuesday, about 680 on Wednesday, and today... maybe 580? The real numbers are likely different, but not much different. I've only been working a few months, but I have never seen numbers this low before. This affords me time to go help in other areas, and I'm still out of the building by 8am. If this trends continues after New Year, I will be one happy loader. [/QUOTE]
