If you mean ice storms, look west on the weather map. Dallas was a disaster area and many other areas affected as well.

That's all? We had one tractor trailer go up in flames and over one million dollars in freight was lost.

My dad did for 28 years plenty of stories about snow with emptys
Several years back we had that bad ice storm. I made it from Cumberland to Richmond and back as far as Hancock before I ran out of hours. I came from Richmond empty. Not much fun.

Yes...UPS is getting hit hard right now. We can count on it like clockwork. The Monday after thanksgiving is when the madness starts.
Pretty sure Texas isn't on the route from Wyoming to Maryland. I can see how that would confuse you though. It's definitely very close...

Don't think ice effected this shipment. Started out in OKC. Looks like it spent all day sitting in Nashville and then again in Roanoke, now a long weekend in Laurel.

I was responding to your post where you said you do not remember seeing anything about one recently. I did not see in your post that I quoted here where you mentioned not seeing one in Wyoming. I am glad to see that "Hooked on Phonics "worked for you. Apparently you also don't know how hub shipping works. The OPs package is not put on a truck and driven straight to him. Sometimes freight takes odd paths to fill trucks. I also used Dallas as an example to illustrate that there was ice in places that aren't used to seeing it. The storms were widespread and covered a large section of the country. No confusion here.

FDX routes most MEM, EWR and Indy; UPS routes most via SDF and uses intermodal truck/rail. Best way to know is to ship for overnight delivery then you have a chance of knowing what hubs will pkg wil use.

bad ass LBZ that is

I have been working 9.5-11 hour days for the last two weeks playing santa. Friday we were informed all major distribution hubs would be working through the weekend to try and get cought up from the delays (storm/overload) and expect to 14 hour days Monday and Tuesday.
If a day or two delay is that big of a deal I would suggest you drive across the country to get your ammo and see what option is better!
Us UPS drivers (and FedEx) work our asses off and are under huge pressure from supervision to get boxes delivered on time (especially this time of year). So what im trying to say is sorry for your delayed package but SUCK IT UP and quit crying!
Sorry for the rant to all non haters but it gets under my skin when someone complains because they have to wait an extra day or two for something they order from hundreds or thousands of miles away.

Cheers.
I have 53 hours logged last week. Stuff gets loaded onto the wrong truck, stuff gets lost or hidden inside the trucks. During peak season, it is not as simple as just drive and deliver.

This is one of the reasons I take my vacation this time of year. We are just crazy at work.

They're past capacity and are renting trucks due to that. I myself have a package stuck in Late Trailer hell.
