[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 651326, member: 927"] I don't know the reasoning they used in your specific case, but I have make similar decisions myself. Here were my reasons: If the drivers stay out late on Wednesday, they return back to the local sort or twilight hub late. Volume is not available for the sort and it goes down late and has a large cost impact. Because the local sort or hub ran late, feeders have to pull late. Again this impacts cost in the feeder operation. Because the feeders pulled late, the night sort is now impacted. Again, it will run late with considerable extra cost. The late night sort impacts the feeder pulls back to the preload which will have trouble getting down, causing the drivers to be impacted on Thursday. Its a viscous cycle. On Friday, there is a chance to catch up with much less impact. Again, I don't know why they did what they did. These were my reasons, and I'm certain I was right. Sometimes, packages have to sit in order to keep the whole network running. P-Man [/QUOTE]
