[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4684715, member: 24302"] Depends on the station. In the outlying small stations I cited they may have the in town FT routes do as you say. Extended area FT rts will start early. It's not logistically feasible to do otherwise. With last mile Ground deliveries those FTers are going to get off earlier anyways, saving money. What you're talking about would result in two part time rts as the later rt has to be back by a certain time for reload. As for Ozark they don't truck next day freight to stations. You're trying to make everything work from your perspective of working in a large station in a large city or metro area. It has never worked the same in smaller outlying stations in small cities/big towns. The company operates according to local conditions. Pickup windows are different. There is no one size fits all and FedEx is trying to increase profit. They aren't going to spend more and lose money rather than go with what works. If you truly believe they would do that I highly recommend you don't go into business for yourself. [/QUOTE]
