[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 868344, member: 22880"] No.... you've missed it again. The only change occurs AFTER, AFTER the volume is moved through AFGS to the destination ramp. It is from that point, the volume is moved over to Ground for final sort and delivery. I assumed that everyone knows how the AGFS system works, since most Couriers get a familiarization in AGFS process when they are in training. Here's how it would work. A 2nd day piece is PUPed in downtown LA on a Monday afternoon, destined to downtown NYC. It is taken back to the station and loaded into a MEM 2nd day can (S ASTRA coded). That can is trucked to the ramp (lets presume LAX) for departure on Tuesday AM bound for MEM. The can arrives in MEM midday Tuesday and is sorted bound for the destination ramp (we can use either EWR or JFK, lets just assume its JFK). The piece arrives at JFK Tuesday late afternoon. Currently, that piece is sorted early Tuesday evening at JFK, then trucked to the delivering station sometime late Tuesday night or early Wednesday AM. It goes through the Wednesday AM station sort, is loaded on a delivery truck for delivery sometime Wednesday. The change would occur at the JFK ramp. Instead of having a PM ramp sort, the piece (loaded in the cargo container coming off the flight from MEM) would be run straight through the ramp building onto a truck bound for the Ground terminal. They would then sort the volume with their normal sort, and a Ground driver would make the delivery. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
