[QUOTE="InTheRed, post: 76949, member: 4489"] Well, if we're still talking about starting earlier.... I don't see an 8am start time as a reality as far as people push the envelope (just as Tie said). To make the preload finish earlier, the work has to arrive earlier. That means the midnight sorts have to go down sooner, which means their work has to arrive earlier. That means the twilight sorts have to go down sooner, which means that their work has to arrive sooner (or just not have all those "late loads" show up at 7:30-8:45). And also, where do all those late loads show up from? The hub-to-hub loads that are the furthest away, as much as 200 miles away, carrying packages that have to go through the hub to the next hub/center which is another 200 miles away. They do say our ground network is the best in the business, but I guess it comes at a price...overtime. [/QUOTE]
