[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4678935, member: 24302"] I'm retired. Just speaking from experience. FedEx can route outlying freight to a station for the early morning sort whether P1 or P2. It's certainly feasible that they'll have part-timers working early, then driving back in 10-15 minutes to hand off trucks in large metro areas with a big city surrounded by suburbs. They aren't going to have a PT courier go way out in rural areas, then drive almost an hour, maybe more, to hand off to a FTer, who'll go back out into an area with few pickups and some of his P2 already diverted to Ground. If you are running a business would you do that? Would you hire a bunch of PTers so that you could lose even more money on rural routes? If some P2 is already diverted to Ground that FTer is going to have less to do anyways and get in earlier. They may even have him deliver some P1 freight on his way out to his area to help make service in the city. Believe it or not FedEx isn't going to cut off its nose to spite its face. [/QUOTE]
