[QUOTE="tonyexpress, post: 168521, member: 1940"] They have to start with the twilight hubs that bring loads to your building. Those loads have to pull on time. If you have drivers out till all hours of the night it does not work because their pick up packages have to go into those loads. If the loads don't pull on time the preload gets late trailers and goes down late, the drivers don't get out on time and in turn are out too late to get their pick up packages in the trailers that need to pull- and the beat goes on.. The whole theory is based on the cycle of all the operations working together, an important part of the [B]Total[/B] [B]Service Plan[/B], with one operation being the next operations inside customer. Everyone has to work together, preload managers with hub managers and so on. If the preloads trailers are on time then they will have no excuse but to go down on time. Rear doors on package cars are locked at driver start time and away you go. If there is a problem packages can be shuttled or other plans put in place. Some drivers start early and deliver eams and have a meet point to pick up the rest of their packages. Some drivers start late, can do late pick ups or hardly any pick ups depending on the need. The rest of the drivers (the majority) start at their regular start time and all drivers have a specific [B]RTB[/B] time or [B]return to building time[/B] and if they can't make it they're required to call in. This enables the hub to get most of the volume at a resonable time so they can get their loads out on time. Believe me there is a lot planning, accountability and many conference calls for management but the end result is more family time for management and hourly and it's like working for a different company.:thumbup1: I'd love to see UPS restore this plan Nation wide!
