You want UPS to pull out of Canada?

Reminds me of RoundUp. It kills by increasing growth.. so much so that the plant dies. it can't sustain itself.
Ups really needs to learn how to be nimble.. maybe instead of trimming man-hours it needs to invest in more trucks and more people, more facilities, instead of cramming it all into the bottleneck.
So after such a crappy day, I wonder how many boxes used to have square corners.. and are now round.. or are late/missed.
That is called "the myth of profit before actual service"

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
But there's more and more round up resistant weeds every day...

Our Fedex Ground/HD terminal seems to be handling things well so far....

Yes but right now they are being overwhelmed - Amazon I'm sure.

Our local Fedex ground sometimes handles up to 30,000 (per day) pkgs close to peak.. but my Ups building often has at least that many to go at the morning's halfway break. Huge difference.. 60,000 or 70,000 in a day.. but I do wonder how things would be for us if our air and ground were divided. Can't imagine that happening.. just theoretical question.
What does Fedex do with a bulk stop of air and ground? Is it combined?
btw - our local Fedex is adding on to their facility; something we need to do desperately at Ups.

Oh Yeah
This peak is all about the shareholders not the customers or employees. Told you guys months ago get ready for hell and will continue this way all the way through. They have to make up for what they lost last peak lol. 4 or 5 billion dollar profit for a quarter just aint enough lol.

REALLY dangerous... I caught my wife doing that when she was driving back from Texas one time. I grabbed the steering wheel just in time before we hit the ditch. Now at the first sign of getting drowsy we pull over and switch drivers.

Ground and Express are completely separate operating companies... they share a name and a website that's about it... the packages never co-mingle, unless sitting on someones doorstep...

I forgot.
When dealing with you, things need to be put in terms that a 3 year old can understand.
Cut the losses on ORION.
If your post was an attempt at humor, I apologize.

Who else loves being out between 8-9pm running stuff you couldn't find in your Ray Charles load earlier + misloads, & not seeing FX, FXG, FXHD, the post office, or any other delivery service (besides pizza) out delivering anywhere? Disheartening & asinine! It needs to change, but how?

And Fed-Ex ground has been leaving packages in the bldg all the way back to when it was RPS. I remember talking to the RPS guy in the 1990s. At the time I could not believe a company could be so mismanaged...They were leaving stops in the bldg every day because of under-staffing! Imagine that!

Hire drivers/build facilities. Expensive!
Or
Increase margins this time of year by increasing residential surcharges during late November and December. Profits stay reasonable, but volume becomes manageable.

You should be working at a safe pace all the time. Slowing down isn't making you safer, it makes you a clock milker.

Plenty of drivers in my building. The issue is there is nowhere to load trucks now.
Nobody saw this level of volume coming.

Missed? You get to used missed?
We've been told last two nights to stop at 2130 and sheet the remaining stops as ECD.
Oh, and no, we haven't had any bad weather in past week...
