[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1909972, member: 8481"] Something like that. But that is the nature of the beast. Loads need to make it to hubs to make the night sort. If you are then not scheduled to go anywhere else or to shift, your wait time until the sort goes down and your loads are ready is "central sort." Most jobs have this built into their schedule. I have been on runs with anywhere from 20 minutes to 3 hours of built in sort time. Your wait time needs to be accounted for. You cannot just stay on turn-around for this time because it then makes your property time numbers look like crap. And remember, everything is about a number on a piece of paper. If you are not shifting, it is coded to sort. If your sup tells you to code it to shifting yet he knows you don't shift, he is fudging numbers. I don't care who gets charged. That is UPS's problem. If it is coded to shift, and the place where you are at sees that you coded it to shifting and were not shifting, do you honestly believe that your sup will back you up when they question you. I would get that in writing or have a Steward present when he tells you to lie and to fudge numbers. [/QUOTE]
