I see the public taking advantage of this offer. Who doesn't like Target? I'm even thinking about buying gifts via this offer. All signs point to another record breaking peak for UPS. Weather permitting, hoping not to see another disastrous peak for this company.

A lot of Target goes through Sure Post. Either way we are screwed.

I wonder, if we get crushed, if UPS will divert some of the "proximity" packages to the USPS, so they look bad, and not us as much.

Relax. By working day after Thankgiving, all is under control.

Bring it on. Paid by the hour. More money in my pocket. They come off one at a time, whether I have 140 stops or 250 stops. Don't matter to me

Yep, that Friday will make the rest of peak seem like a breeze...(shorter days, less stops, less miles, at least that's what I've been told.)

Now that I'm officially debt free....I am kinda looking forward to fattening my bank account and stuffing my 401k this peak.

Like an Einstein center manager once told me. " It shouldn't take you as long because the stops are closer together". WTF

Wow that is the same thing they keep telling us too! This is going to be the easiest peak ever!

"Are we suppose to deliver all these packages today"?

 

[youllbefine]

More drivers less helpers that's the word in our center

First all people get is the ups tracking number email when it's shipped surepost.

Second. Working 7 days a week was the only way usps handled last year. They will always deliver their packages first then surepost if it comes down to choosing what to service.

A helper,also saves you time at red lights!

No work 13.98 then you can stop.

Already had to help a slug that was overdispatched with my usual Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday stops and he had a helper for the first time. They gave him 240 on a 700 and didn't know the area, we are screwed.(or I am)

Our people seriously telling you all this will help?

All of my sups openly admitt its worthless to work that day.
