[QUOTE="Buffaloaf, post: 510357, member: 20890"] From my experiences with MI going to OH, it has only been Livonia (480-483 MI) volume going to Toledo. I think that the reason for this is because MI is such a large state and already is spread out between stuff that gets sorted to Lansing and Detroit. It's probably a matter of sending that Southern MI stuff to Ohio because there isn't enough volume to justify a half feeder full of MI stuff from a bunch of sorts, when you can just throw it in with an OH feeder, resort it into a few MI trailers and have a driver take it up there. Instead of having to pay a bunch of drivers hours to run the route, they pay a bunch of PT employees 1/3 the wages to reload it and 1 driver to do a shorter route. I'm not positive, but this is probably it. For what it's worth, I've only dealt with MI/OH on a twilight sort. [/QUOTE]
