In reply to the discussion: So the Post Office Whipped UPS and FedEx in terms of delivering packages for Christmas 2013 [View all]A HERETIC I AM
(24,368 posts)Myself and a co-driver, he having a family, left Jax at 9:00 PM Christmas Eve. All day Christmas day on the road and returned here today at 2:00PM.
And we weren't the only ones, not by a long shot. Thousands of other drivers nationwide were doing similar duty.
FWIW, the USPS must have been doing something right, because we hauled an empty trailer from Ohio to PA, only to find out there was nothing to load from PA to Jax, so we pulled that same empty back down here.
Everything that had to be moved had already been moved for that route. But it will pick right back up again, I'm sure. The guy I drove with does that route twice a week, and he told me he has never been empty on two of the 3 legs in the 3 and a half years he has been making this trip.
