[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 804983, member: 5938"] Working the extra hours is going to depend on individual centers. Our center has feeder trucks that just don't arrive until a certain time in the AM. They are at the mercy of the hubs who, I'm sure, have their own schedules and limitations. We normally start around 4:30 AM and the earliest I've seen us start at peak was 2:45 AM. That was years ago when volume was high. We normally can't stay late because our drivers must get out of the building at a decent time in order to get done. The exception here is when air is late. In those instances very few people are needed to process it so most people are allowed to leave. Higher seniority people usually want the extra hours and air drivers shuttle the air to the regular drivers. From what I've read on this forum hubs have much different schedules than smaller centers like mine. So dilli, I feel the varied responses may be due to the type of facility one works for. I do agree, though, that we're at the mercy of the "powers" as to what our start and end times are! [/QUOTE]
