Hub bottle neck

[Wally]

I guess it’s not all bad out here in the flyover states

Nope, this was a low tax state at one time before Democrats took total control.

I got about 20 years left til retirement. I’d like to see the company remain profitable so I can keep getting these raises and pension. Losing contracts would suck.

Stock price going through the roof.
Profits going through the roof.

This new CEO is going to trim the fat and make UPS the most profitable it has ever been.

When all the shipping companies are maxed out with volume the big retailers have no choice.

They gotta ship there stuff with someone.

UPS will be that someone.

So even though hubs are running 24/7 they’re backing up a creating a bottle neck.

This is just unacceptable in my opinion. It is one thing for centers to be blown out and roll trailers. It’s another to not even be able to get those packages to the centers.

Submit your application for Carol B. Tomé's job. Sounds like you have it all figured out.

My hub was overworked and outdated 20 years ago. I heard during covid peak we were sending out tens of trailers a night of work we could not process out of state. They added a few more sorts at another hub in a nearby state and now those sorts are permanent.

Eventually the problem will fix itself when we loose lots of volume to FedEx and amazon

Yours would not be a certain hub in texas?

I’m loving this peak!

Yeah it doesn't feel like peak. Back in the Spring and Summer it was bad. But this is a walk in the park.

WTH is a state tax?

WTH is a state tax?

They also call them "fees". The mob cries with jealousy over the way they shake money out of people.

WTH is a state tax?

A tax you pay to the state

A tax you pay to the state

Income, sales, property, fees, etc. There are hidden taxes too on utility bills. Unfunded mandates are also a tax.
