One report I saw on CNN said that UPS handled 80% of the package
deliveries in the US. If that's true, then the problem is obvious. I
guess another bit of data is that UPS is still delivering, there are
just a lot of grey-haired manager types driving trucks around (I've
seen three different UPS trucks just today). But I'm sure that their
capacity is still *much* lower than normal.
in case anyone really cares,
Michael
