[QUOTE="BrownSuit, post: 350184, member: 14437"] Operationally, so that you aren't going back to the location a second time and therefore not over allowed. It cuts out a stop, cutting down the cost to serve and ideally gets you back to the building sooner at night. Also so that the commercial customers receive their ground as early as possible in the day. Yes I know, if they wanted it early, they would have sent it air, however it is a HUGE selling point. Also, you don't have somebody coming and bothering you multiple times a day with packages. While it is the same driver, it defeats some of the selling points against using FedEx with multiple drivers showing up at different times to deliver. This would only be a problem if you have so many commits that adding Ground Packages would keep you from making all the commits. That all is going to depend on the route. That's part of why the Dispatch Sup is the one making those decisions. You could have the city center, the next person could have the mall, the next route over could be Industrial, the next a neighborhood. Whether or not to mix them into the load will likely be different for each scenario. If you are being prompted to deliver the Ground with the Air and aren't doing so, you may risk getting called on a duplicate stop. If you made an attempt to deliver the ground and had a package lost somewhere in the mix because of a bad load, you can at least go back and say "I tried". [/QUOTE]
