Peak begins

[Mechanic86]

Apparently according to our manager we have entered peak season in August lol, I haven't been with the company a long time but even I know this is bs. In Automotive they are already pushing for "no brown down" which means no red tags allowed while at the same time they are saying overtime isn't allowed. Is anybody else getting word of this through management already? Before you know it peak will be all year long.

 

[2 hrs over allowed]

Lmao I see many 12 & 13 hr days in my future. We don't have enough PCs to run the amount of routes needed for peak volume l.

Then where is my helper?

Peak began in my bldg 2 years ago, hasn't stopped.

Things start ramping up with back to school. Anymore, peak starts trending up in October.

September through February here. I was surprised they hadn't adjusted start times for next week with school openings around the corner.

Bring out the UHAUL trucks if your center doesn't have enough PCs lol

We already are using all available cars. This week the trainers had a hard time finding PCs to use for the new driver training class.

Delivering out of rentals sucks but they do have more comfortable seats and better heaters. Some even have a radio.

It's feels like peek year round because routes are cut daily to make us stay out later

 

[Box Ox]

The ORION route cuts at my center have made it peak for drivers and loaders every day. Lower volume means fewer routes, but they're all still bricked out. Only difference during the holiday peak will be helpers and reloads from shuttles.

Note on your DIAD, "You have a helper~", "this person has never jumped...." Yay!!!!!

Kind of early for all these "peak and Thanksgiving" posts to be starting isn't it? I'm sure UPS will have it all covered this year.

Peak begins in December.

Welcome to last month.

 

[3 done 3 to go]

In my center. I have always noticed that right after labor day is when peak begins.

 

[BrownTexas]

Our center, we don't have enough drivers, so my management team is working on helping me pay off my wife's student loans. I appreciate them working so hard for me.
