[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 350356, member: 927"] I'm not sure I can adequately explain, but I'll try. This is one of those things where the answer depends on the situation. That's why there are multiple ways to do this. First, in almost all situations, its cheaper to deliver the ground while you deliver the air. The PDS should dispatch the services together. When this happens, you will see in one row in EDD the summary for all the deliveries for the address. With this example, you'd see: 1030 2 + 6 This means that you have 2 pacakges for a 1030 commit, and 6 more with later commits. If you see the air on one line in EDD and the ground in another, the PDS did not do what was taught. This situation should exist only when we do NOT want them delivered together. That's the dispatch side. The next piece is the handling instruction. The system looks at all the possible sequences that could be on the car based on the dispatch plan. It also looks at the trace. It gives each sequence a position which is the shelf assignment. It starts out in trace order. The PDS can see this and adjust it as is needed. Packages can be put on the floor, by the rear door, moved to a different shelf, etc. The last piece is the handling instruction for the air. If the air and ground can be delivered in trace, the air is generally placed in the load, in trace. The system tries to keep air from being buried in the load however. For instance an air package on the PM side of the trace. The PDS can adjust this very quickly. They can say that all or none of the air should be loaded in trace (with the ground). They can say how far into the trace the air should be loaded with the ground. So the instructions are flexible to match the situation. When the system moves the air out of the load, it puts it in the front section (1000 section). This does not mean that you should not deliver the air in trace. It also does not mean that ground and air should not be delivered together. The air is moved just so that it doesn't get buried. When we were taught this, it was explained that there are many different scenarios, so that's why its so flexible. We've had very good luck modifying this to suit the situation. P-Man [/QUOTE]
