Well peak is only one week old and we were told on Friday that we did not have enough trucks or drivers. We were also told that the volume is blowing the top off the projections. We are calling it a retro peak. In the 80's we use to stay out delevering until 11-12 at night. Then UPS got away from that getting us in usually by 9:00 or so. But not anymore. Seems like our management team always has excuses for every failure they have. ( too much volume, not enough trucks, short on drivers, etc.) Good thing they have us to bail them out most of the time. And if we don't .... of course it's the drivers fault. My advice is no more sales leads until we are shown that we can make service on the voulme we already have.
