[QUOTE="PrimeUPS, post: 3143383, member: 56792"] Maybe. Maybe not. Every center, division, district, and even region varies so it's all relative but... Routes are planned with density. That's the basis of loop principles. A country route is going to have less air because of the miles from the center to area. In many cases, there is a relaxed commit to go with it. A vertical route down the road from the center in a downtown or urban setting will have very few miles, but extra time due to the use of elevators, docks, and stairs. Now, say you do start someone at 8. Who does the late pickups on that route? Are you now PM dispatching a substantial pickup run? What about on days where a split car isn't in that area, like a holiday-non-holiday like Columbus Day a few weeks ago? If you start someone at 10, who delivers the air for that route? I've seen where the difference in 10 minutes in start time has a dramatic effect on air feasibility. We both know you're not adding a car to service the air, not just because you have a two-hour staggered start. How many under 8s do you get with those 8a starts? In this area, unless it is a Monday and every load is on property when preload starts, there's no way they are down by 8. I'm all for leaving earlier and starting at 8, I know a lot of drivers would be, but that's predicated on the work being available to load and the load finished to leave by 8... [/QUOTE]
