Yep and it's only going to get heavier.

Nope. Same routes still cut. No new drivers put on in my center. We did get 2 temp drivers in June but they haven't worked in a few weeks.
Same crap different day.

Doesn't mean volume is up though--just that the dispatch is. You can tell when some business stops have more pieces or when more houses on a street have stops but for the resi that can also be more surepost being pulled into the load.

I would say yes....I dont think UPS will go bankrupt for a few years lol

Our center manager mentioned the other day volume is up 13% so far from this time last year. It wasnt that long ago July and August were the slowest months of the year,and many drivers would take a day or two off EVERY week,but that is long gone.

Gotcha. I just assumed it was more people on vacation and crappier dispatching.

 

[fres431]

I know volume is up no dispatch cutting routes preload is running 4 to 7k pieces heavier every day..just was curious if this across the country or is it just California

We have more routes in and when a route is cut, it is felt by everyone in the loop.

The flow of business will tend to trace the dow jones industrial and transportation indexes. UPS volume is up nationally on national growth. I used to be a trader.

How would you explain Amazon? Their volume is through the roof yet they continue to lose money.

etailers continue to see increases in revenue and are projected to for a long time to come as more and more people get online and embrace e-commerce so even with its horrible management Amazon will continue to have ridiculous revenue and little profit.

It used to be that traders/economists also followed UPS' package volume as an indicator of the strength or weakness of the economy.

Our volume is definitely up. The drivers are getting crazy ot but no new ft jobs. Im in my 3rd year and start time on mondays 3 years ago was 515, today it was 420. Weve been busy since peak

You are all imagining volume increases. For 30 years they have been telling me volume is down especially during contract years and we all know they would never lie about that.
