I'm curious if we have any Brown Cafe members from the New Orleans area. Are you even going in to work on Tuesday? What announcements has UPS made about deliveries in the Gulf Coast areas affected by Gustav?

I heard they were adding a flotation device to the side of the package cars and providing waterproof leggings, though the waterproof part is suspect as they are made in China.

Well everything is day to day as far as us going back to work in New Orleans. Friday every diriver had to bring his package car to a near by town in case NO flooded again. During Katrina all package cars were flooded. So as of now there are no package cars in NO. We were told we would be contacted by our sups and look at ups/upsers.com for updates. It is kinda crazy emotions going through this crap again.

Service Update

Hurricane Gustav

UPS service in areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas has been affected by Hurricane Gustav. Much of the Gulf Coast area was under mandatory evacuation orders during the storm, and residents and UPS employees are just beginning to return. UPS pickup and delivery services may be delayed in these areas, and some UPS Customer Center hours may be affected.

Every effort is being made to resume normal service as soon as possible, but the safety of residents and UPS employees within these areas is our primary concern. If you plan to send a shipment, UPS recommends contacting your recipient to make sure they are available to accept the package.

Further updates will be provided on ups.com.

The family and I still have not returned to New Orleans because we have no power. Talked to my sup yesterday and only 25 drivers hit the streets. They are hoping for atleast 50 today. I was told that we are approximatly 45 thousand pieces behind. I am guessing that i should make a lot of ot next week.
