[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1192091, member: 42691"] Yes indeed. It take a cold longbox to where I'm going. My scheduled loads are cold. But I always follow the methods by the book, and so I don't have good numbers. So, they--bit by bit--dropped my start time back by an hour. Where I go, the night sort ends abut 2:45. Before they changed my start time, I would get there between 2 and 2:30. So back then, about once a week, they would put some hot stuff on me. No big deal. But, this being UPS, when they are heavy in my home hub, they will top off my load with some hot stuff. I can hardly hide my smile on those nights. First of all, they never get done on time, and I end up leaving later than normal. Then the feeder dispatchers and hub sups will nervously ask me what time I will get up to my destination hub. "Same as everyday, four hours from the time I hit our gate," I tell them. They used to tell me I needed to hurry, that the night sort was waiting, but I told them I will drive the same way I always drive. They used to look disappointed, but now they just know. Second, a lot of times they will only throw a couple of hot smalls bags and maybe a few packages. So they will hold up the entire night sort waiting on me. Like I said, spend $10 to save a nickel.
