This abuse didn't just start this peak. It's just violated more right now.I'm sure dispatch would give you more if you asked for more, have you?
Couldn't find the quality temps that they have now, you want more that you have to go help?
Not most places. Read somewhere on here that a temp delivered 30 stops in six hours, in city. I'm not saying that is representative of all seasonals, but they are no where near as good as a regular driver.
Rest of year, sure, but training new drivers during peak, most can't handle that amount of work and expectations in a short amount of time.

Our temps are phenomenal this year. The best I've ever seen.
No, dispatch is cutting us off at 10.5 hrs. No joke.
Many of us would take the work and we know that they'll be laying off at least a third of the drivers after the second week of Jan so we're watching to see how much volume there will be continued to be sent to the post office that keeps UPSers from driving after peak.
This isn't a one time thing but it's more visible during peak season.
