So to recap, people in small 150 or less package car centers are light and metro buildings or hubs are business as usual, bricked and running out of hours?

My feeder CPU accounts have been very light. Same with other CPU routes as I’m talking to other feeder drivers.

I think a lot of people are shopping in store this year and I blame the news for it. Headlines like “trucker shortages”, “buy gifts early” and “port backlog” don’t exactly instill confidence that Christmas gifts ordered online will make it on time.
Also The company is being more selective on what they are taking from customers…what kinds of pkgs and levels of service.!there have been many stories about this exact thing.

I think there may be a silent majority, on browncafe, that actually like the fact that the PVD's allow them to get home earlier during the short holiday season.

And then there is the vocal minority.
Be sure to call your seasonal helper a scab every day. They are, no doubt, robbing you of your precious rupees.
More time to post on Brown Cafe lol!

There's also a full month between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year which helps to spread out the volume.

PVDs are making a huge difference. The 2 PVDs in my area are easily pulling off nearly 200 stops.

Boss told me to keep working until I hit 13 hours. Said I have to sleep in the package car tonight and they’re going to bring more out to me in the morning.

Worst peak ever.
That was daily for me all year long, for years.
Peak was my slow season.
Only time help was sent.
Save the OT, invest it, payoff all debt then wake up one day and say I am done.
Never say it is the worst, next peak could prove you wrong.
Cartoons?
I am really scared now.
I did not know you were so tough.
Only punks name themselves thugs. when they have a gang behind them.
Just a guess on my part, but you would not be a pimple on the butt of the really tough guys I have had to encountered in my life.
Those days are far behind me, but my evil twin still is inside me.
Try and grab my throat and see what it gets you.
Fair warning.
