[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 4055268, member: 60252"] If volume remains constant, the workload per employee remains constant, just spread out over 7 days. Once long haul is on a seven day schedule, package flow will even out pretty quickly. You can expect the number of worker per day to drop , and potentially elimination of any overtime being required It will be cheaper to have drivers working 3 and 4 day work weeks than it is to have them working 6 days. Overall, fewer trucks are needed if the load is spread out over 7 days instead of 6. The problem is that contractors will need to think about it a little, and many don't have the smarts to work out how to schedule their drivers, or change the routes around once daily volume falls while weekly volume remains the same.
