[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 1296091, member: 23516"] You keep banging this drum without really knowing what you're talking about. Large shippers were given a daily cutoff time for bulk shipments moving in trailers. Once the cutoff time had passed, anything else shipped would have one additional day added to the commit and it would be reflected on the ASTRA label -- just like packages received after the last pickup at FXO locations. To put it lightly, there wasn't a great deal of compliance. There were packages that departed a distribution center on a Tuesday night at 9PM with Wednesday commitments when the cutoff was anything that didn't make the 7PM departure. That doesn't even address the issue of the goobers who were labeling packages on the late night shift. They were putting overnight labels on packages at 11 PM. Nor does it take into account the shippers who would report a package as being shipped when they printed the label for it, even if the label wouldn't be slapped onto the package until the next day. I'm sorry, but that's on the shipper and that's why shippers are blamed for mislabeling packages. [/QUOTE]
