[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1432450, member: 13921"] That is the way I did it when I 1st qualified. In our region, the big push has been 'on time network' which means meeting the pull times. 1 of our runs was changed pretty substantially. It gets the last leg to our building earlier and there is a meet with another driver that has to finish a 220 mile run. That meet is 30 minutes earlier now. There is also pressure on the loaders to be all wrapped so we can meet the pull times. When the 'on time network' pressure started, the load was having a heck of a time meeting pull times. Last week, I only waited for 1 pull, the rest were ready when I hooked. All but 1 day, I beat the pull time by 5-10 minutes. The driver that I met loved it and the preload at my building were very happy. I got all my break done at the meet point (deli sandwich, really good sandwich shop at the meet point) and really did not feel rushed or any of it. Stayed on task and got the job done. It was one of the easiest weeks that I have had covering feeders. edited to add: the most pressure that I have seen is on the loaders. The routes that I covered always waited for the loaders to wrap.
