I am well aware of the death at the Pleasantdale Hub, I am referring to a near-fatality at the Forest Park Hub. There were several other instances on top of that which triggered the OSHA visit. Our yard is a very dangerous place right now. We ran out of employee parking so we have corporate people parking inside the yard and we had to rent space from a neighboring business. Shiny wheels and rentals everywhere with tens of thousands of missed packages sitting on pallets outside. The inside of the building is a total disaster too. Large stacks of packages just sit in the same spot for days.

Seems to be happening by us as well. We're using preloaders almost exclusively as helpers and they wind up working more hours than a lot of the drivers. 7-8 hours on preload, an hour or so to get dressed and meet up with the driver, then another 5-6 hours out on road. Then the preload sups rage about misloads and people not following proper methods. Is it any wonder? These guys look like the walking dead by Friday afternoon. Best part are the fights between the PT sups and ORSs the next morning about "how can you keep my preloaders out 6 hours a day?!?!?!"

We've stayed clean the whole time. Been a nice peak.

We rolled a few trailers here and there but for the most part we stayed clean and are clean going in to tomorrow; in fact, we all worked for 5 hours yesterday, which should take the edge off of Tuesday.

It's very nice to hear there are places all caught up and clean. It's been a horrendous peak at my center this year. We are even on the fortunate 70 hour rule list. I got 65 last week. ugh
The week after black friday/ cyber monday was a little rough, but since then it's just been the usual late nights for package. I've been getting 50-52 hours a week, we had one guy get 75 but he's a greedy bastard.

Only had 63 hours last week. I might go broke.

Early 30’s, freaking tired as I’ve ever been doing this work. Glad we’ve had dry weather here.

Planning on retirement at age 60. But I’m a glutton for punishment so we will see about that.
