[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 984640, member: 22880"] Express doesn't have the ability to deny service on the basis of "short distance". If a shipper wants (currently) 3 day service on a package going 50 miles, they can select that. On the billing side, there usually isn't any savings between 3 and 2nd day over short distances - so Express covers themselves there. Express does hold packages on Mondays that are not due on Mondays, solely to prevent shippers from using 3rd day on a Friday and getting the package delivered on Monday (Memphis clears out everything Sunday afternoon to the ramps - who sort everything they have that evening). Many stations also have routes not take out volume during the week if they get it "early" (Express Saver arriving at the station a day before is commit date). This is done solely to "pressure" customers to pay for the level of service they really want to receive. [/QUOTE]
