Ive notice volume wayyyy down at our center what about the rest of you how are things looking??
In my hub its about 70K packages on a daily basis.
The word is the company is getting $7.50 for each piece of mail scanned.
What constitutes a "piece of Mail"?We never did mail until ups bought us,now we get about 3-5 positions in the morning the dock guys scan each piece of mail then we rotate helping them throw the mail into those mail carts, while that is going on some drivers are loading trucks, then after a while the drivers who were doing the mail load their trucks etc At about 830 the mail truck shows up and we roll all them carts into the truck then we start our routes.

Our hub had an OK peak.
It was clearly carried by LLBean. That account must have added around 50k per day to our volume.
Last peak, the average day was around 400-550k packages. This peak was around 100k more per day!, 500-700k avg. I attribute this to LLBean and a slightly better economy.
