[QUOTE="xracer, post: 76236, member: 2209"] Starting early would be great, an extra hour earlier start time could translate to an hour and a half on the road by not having to break off for commit times and air but I do not see it happening especially in an out lying center like I am in because our loads can not seem to get here on time now and we are waiting for them even with a 9am start. I know some of the late loads can be the result of drivers getting in late with their pick up peices which could be helped by a earlier start time for drivers but it is hard to reverse the trickle down effect that has already been started due greatly in part to PASS and EDD overdispatching drivers. I know that on Mondays when we are allowed to start as much as 45 minutes earlier, because all of the loads are already there from the weekend, that my day is drastically improved. But on the flipside you have drivers that are going to pull back in at the same time no matter when you start them which is why our start time will not be changed because it does take away that sense of urgency from some of the people and will just make them slow down during the day taking away from company profits and that is the bottom line that is looked at on a corporate level...
