[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1405042, member: 4886"] There are some pros with this and some cons. In areas far from center where drivers take an hour to get on area, you now would have 4 total hours just driving to and from on area with two shifts. (2 hours for each of two drivers). I would think there is some benefit to designating areas that are close to building be a low plan paid day area. Thereby having more driver routes. Areas that are far away from building would be planned out as having a higher paid day. IN that way, a driver who wants more hours bid on the routes that are designated as a higher paid day route. Drivers who want less hours bid on routes that have a designated lower paid day. (I'm from area of country where we bid each year -- I realize other areas are different). I think having a few driver runs in the early AM for air delivery as well as extra driver runs for bulk ground pickup make a lot of sense. The AM drivers would allow the regular drivers to break trace less often, the PM drivers would allow the local sort to start up with enough work to keep them busy. The main goal should be to have a reasonable paid day during majority of year and then be able to increase it during peak. I think most people would agree it's reasonable to work long days for the 4-5 weeks prior to Christmas. However, it is not realistic to work 10+ hours per day for 52 weeks a year. (Or even over 9.5 hours each day of the year). [/QUOTE]
