I have yet to have a week with more than 44 this year.

I get 44 hours and then some.

44 hours by Thursday?

I always say that on Friday I work for time and a half all day because I already have my 40 in by Thursday.

I did driver helper twice.... Sort of, the second time the driver bitched all day long he didn't need me he can do it himself blah blah blah. Then I showed him I knew how to use the diad because the first guy I helped a couple years back showed me. His mood changed, then this peak is going to be great I'll keep you out here as long as you want blah blah blah.... Feeders took me two weeks later lol be careful what you wish for

Half will quit,their first week.
And another 25% will quit after one or two paychecks.

Ups knows that that's why they start with a big number like 95000 for pr purposes to flex our muscle showing the public we mean business to get the job done.

Yeah and Godzilla is real lol.

In reality wherever that went , they want enough people to avoid last years disaster. I'm getting three helpers at once so I can run more stops while the truck sits reducing the mileage but wearing out the temporary help. So when one gets tired I can substitute the next and possibly use a rotation method. Maybe one of my helpers can be trained on using a remote control drone and drop some of the lightweight stuff on the roof where Santa lands his sleigh.​

They will be hired in October and not used until late November or early December. For 2 or 3 hours a day for 3 or 4 days a week. Until everything falls apart and then we want you 24/7.

Ive already been hired and went through NSPT. Finished friday and start on Tuesday full time.

We were told the peak plan is for 50 hrs/week for drivers.

If that's right I look forward to peak.. I had 58 hours this week.

Speaking as a feeder driver I heard my on road sup. say HUBS will be rolling trailers because the sorts will not be able to handle the volume…Merry Christmas!!!!!!

Thank goodness we have those 15-whatever parking lot centers opening up, that should alleviate any bottleneck issues.

Funny aside - I overheard that this peak, UPS is planning to run 60k packages/hr through a building that only maxes at 40k/hr. Should be silly.

Sounds like trying to put 20 pounds of poop in a 5 pound bag.

My building has been over max and they just keep trying more and more. I heard at a safety meeting 50k more per day during peak.
