[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 814596, member: 927"] How do you know that it is 60 routes worth of work??? As nice as it is to believe, the IE department doesn't tell the package division manager how many routes he / she needs to have. Based on a forecast of volume and stops, the number of cars are supposed to grow and shrink to fit that volume level. If there are 52 cars (and the district is following the right process), then the volume / stop level supports 52 cars. Now, if the dispatch is poor, then even though the volume / stop level supports 52 cars, it can't be properly accomplished with that number of cars. So, there is no way to know the correct number of cars without knowing the volume / stop level and how good the dispatch is..... In this thread, people complained about poor / inefficient dispatch. That is the job of the local operator to correct. That poor dispatch creates extra on-road time. This was also acknowledged in this thread. As I have said before, a good dispatch can help increase SPC and also reduce paid day (for the center). I am not denying that a problem exists. I am pointing out that the cause is misjudged. [/QUOTE]
