[QUOTE="scratch, post: 358151, member: 1674"] Where I am at, which is close to the Atlanta Airport, we have about three air trailers hit the Unload between 6-6:20 AM. The Feeders with ground are in too, so I don't understand the 8:45 Start Time. I run EAMs before my regular route, and it seems to me that most business are open by 8, with someone in the office by 7:30. The exception would be Malls and strip shopping centers. So if you are in a major city with a nearby airport, earlier start times are possible. After all, I see Fedex on the road at 7;45, and Fedex Ground is out at the same time. I understand that it is good to make later Pickups with our shippers. I think we need staggered start times with our drivers. Like maybe start the Preload earlier, then the residential guys sooner and give them some NDA off the commercial routes. Then the commercial guys could start a little later so they would be out later making Pickups. But what do I know? [/QUOTE]
