[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 761829, member: 7966"] Usually districts don't do much of the planning of the cross-country feeder network. That is usually at a region or even more likely Corporate level since this is a larger system planning decision. The 4-10s would be put in in several legs across the country. The financial impact would be to reduce total number of drivers with the reduced turn-around time and reduction in total number of tractors and trailers necessary to support the system. It also could be to get earlier available of a load(s) into the final destination hub to increase service days or the availability of a load for the hub to process. It is really impossible to understand why it is done for one specific area when that area is just a small part of the overall system. [/QUOTE]
