[QUOTE="ziffle, post: 753552, member: 2231"] Portland has been expanding its hub over the last couple of years. If I am correct it is going from a 20k per hour to a 40k per hour hub. It just went to capacity this week of july 2010. We had 20 unload doors now we have 40. Things are not running well yet but I imagine they will work themselves out. With the fairly new rule of no more than 8 hours in the yard, drivers have to pretrip and postrip more than one tractor and transfer all their stuff everyday. Most of the yard runs have local work attached to them so they do not do the entire shift in one unit. Portland has 5 different lots (Fathom,main hub,L,old Swift,and 5550). Our yard goats are street legal to haul loads up and down the street to different lots. I think they underestimated how many drivers they needed . They just posted a new feeder school the same week the hub fired up. There are quite a few feeder runs now that are only 8 hours. We will see if the package guys are interested in that. [/QUOTE]
