Really light volume

[Thatguy123]

Deliver down in NC and we're experiencing really light volume.. No split routes in, cutting routes twice a week... 8-10 drivers going home every day. Anyone else experiencing this across the states?

We have also. Routes are sometimes cut on Mondays, but almost never on Fridays. Friday is usually the last minute crap wagon day.

Today and yesterday were light for us, prior to these 2 days we've been pretty heavy for the time of year. Not sure why we were so light past 2, probably just a weird day.

 

[Fragile]

Just wait for memorial day.

It's usually pretty light this time of the year.

I don't miss those days of having 20 cases of rubber tomahawks only to discover the door is locked and the owner of the tourist trap is still in Florida for a few more weeks.

Its been light out here as well. They'll call/text you if you want the day off. Last couple of weeks.

Light volume or are drivers doing more stops than in years past?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Light volume or are drivers doing more stops than in years past?

Probably a combination of the two.

that makes the old farts of UPS the winner

 

[FrigidAdCorrector]

We've been under our planned pickup volume everyday by 10-20% for the last 2 months. Delivery volume has been right at plan, we haven't had to lay anybody off actually.

What was it? A couple of months ago that people were talking about all the people their buildings we're hiring? Which is it?

 

[Pooter]

It's been light for our hub in the Midwest for over a month.

Mondays are the worst. IF you work, you are getting 2 routes in 1. Nightmare

About 10 drivers are bumped into the building from our center (2).

It's actually nice to work 4 days at 36hrs
