[QUOTE="wornoutupser, post: 75124, member: 2196"] Peak was really rough this year in Florida. The planning was not what it needed to be for a successful peak. Our building was made for 38 cars and we ran 63 yesterday. We are able to unload 1 flatbed feeder at a time and we had 7-10 a day come in here. The unload device broke twice- it fell on a unloader's foot the second time it broke. It is one of the old roller sets that goes up and down on a screw type rack and the rack breaks off of the frame. We all had to drive 14 hours every day because UPS "decided" that the DOT 11 hour rule does not apply to package drivers in our area. Baloney, they knew that we did not have enough help-or enough room to park the vehicles that we needed. I am not blaming our center manager- I am blaming the corporate folks above that will not spend enough money on our facilities to make them operate at the most efficient levels.The back half of our parking lot is shell rock that was dumped on the ground and the feeders can not circle the building anymore because they will get stuck. I was done last night around 9:00. I went back and then had to work on another 100 stops (Yeah,at 9:00) that another driver brought back because he was over 60 hours. It was yet another 11:30 night. I am not in management, I do not get an additional 1/2 month check and I do not get a stock bonus. I truly believe that UPS needs to fix their own problems around our area. It sounds almost as bad a the North Carolina posts- and that is one of our old division managers running the show up there! [/QUOTE]
