[QUOTE="Method Mensch, post: 5840801, member: 71846"] I'm a part-time air driver that runs a five- day- a- week route of all air. There's 4 PM air drivers that do strictly air pickups and 4 of us AM Air drivers that deliver. If they axe our delivery routes and put them on the full time routes, that would add at least on hour to their day. More importantly, those regular ground routes already have some air stops on them. If you add additional air stops , you're at best adding an hour to an hour and a half to their workload and at worst, failing to make service on all the air stops. It makes the routes less efficient by forcing the driver to do a separate all-air run to make the 10:30 deadline before starting the ground work, instead of unloading all the ground and all the air together in one fell swoop. The pickup routes could more easily be absorbed by the ground routes. It's mostly drop boxes, which they're getting rid of. [/QUOTE]
