Who’s ready for peak? Do you think the economy will keep up as the last few years before this year?

Forget the past economy. The Covid economy will be here a long time still. I can only think that this peak is going to be a magnitude more insane than others.
But my 401(k) will love it.

Yes, exactly. I recently had a new roof installed for $7,800. Not cheap, but well worth it.

It’s going to be bad. Really really bad.
Management doesn’t think volume will go up much. The entire plan revolves around PVD. It’s gonna be ugly.

My building has been Peaked out all Summer. Any more volume and packages will just in the trailers until we can get to them.

PVD will be crazy as most hubs I think won’t have driver helpers. However I think volume might be less than expected since the economy changes and covid

No one is going to go to the stores to shop. Do you know what that means? Even if the economy is down we will be getting way more volume.
Imagine no Black Friday sales. All replaced with online deals.

This summer one of our co workers conned a bunch of us into helping him reroof his house. For the cost of beer and food we torn off the old shingles and put a new roof on in a day and a half. I bet it cost him less than $4,000. It helped he already had a dump trailer and co workers who used to be roofers.
My last roof and siding was payed for by insurance. It was nice for once to be on the other side of things and not getting screwed.

Management here waited until now to start training a bunch of new drivers. And they have them training on half routes, as in one gets the businesses, and one gets the resis. Can’t understand the thought process behind that, but whatever. Handholding is apparently the new norm.

Same for our new drivers. One driver had an all resi training route and still managed to get DQ'd. The quality of drivers is trending downward for sure.

Many Americans won’t have money for Christmas because Trump let a virus enter the country. He failed Americans.

You guys are nuts.
Wait for a big storm to come, throw some shingles in your yard, call your insurance company, pay deductible and get a new roof for a fraction of the cost.
