[QUOTE="browndingo, post: 1256825, member: 50642"] Scanning pickups or not is going to be a local practice based on the package flow. The clock starts ticking at the first scan, whether that's a pickup scan or an origin scan (which is usually the first scan once the package gets back to the center). There are some situations where they don't want the clock to start ticking on the package right away. For example, our air driver who goes to the airport at night stops and makes a late letterbox pickup on his way. Often there are ground packages in the box. He does not scan them, because they will be brought back to the center and sorted the following day. If he scans them when he picks them up, the clock starts ticking and when they are scanned on the local sort the next day it shows them as "left in building," which is a service failure. There are other situations depending on how your packages flow once they get back to the center where you don't want the clock to start ticking at the pickup time. Not only might it create a "service failure" when there isn't one, but it might affect the forecasting down the line. Also, some centers use the "recovery area" feature of the pickup screen where you put in separate counts for your air and international pickups. Integrad trains new drivers how to use these but tells them to follow the practice at their home centers because they're all different. [/QUOTE]
