I'm currently working as a seasonal driver. UPS rented moving trucks for deliveries as well as portable storage units in residentials to shuttle packages to and have seasonal employees deliver them with golf carts. A major problem was the golf cart drivers not showing up to work during the cold and rainy days this week. I stop by two of these storage units to grab their scanning devices and several nights this week they were completely filled. Apparently the employee failed to show and no one seems to monitor this closely enough. Lots of missed deliveries resulting from this. From my perspective it seems like the company has in fact failed to scale at least in my hub. With the center aisle of the truck filled with probably person sized packages you have to climb over things often or simply try to efficiently detour on the fly to get them out of the way. Hiring enough drivers to keep the center aisle clear on every truck seems like it would massively speed up drivers, I know it would for me. One possibly major hurdle in optimizing seems the range of package sizes. Packages going out can range from letters to the size of a door. Just getting enough drivers may be a huge issue for them though. During my week long training class, I think half washed out. Several immigrants who couldn't keep up due to poor English or competency with the scanning device. I managed to help one older man from Greece get through the training, and I hope he managed to get through the season. Also worth noting that the Department of Transportation limits the hours UPS (and presumably others?) delivery drivers can work to 60 hours per week, and this week they were permitted to go to 70 hours, with the 14 hour day limit still in place.
