[QUOTE="TSup, post: 380796, member: 10410"] Yes we do know how many pieces are in a trailer because the tracking numbers are scanned on the origin side(at least most). The difference, is that we only know about the shipping information if the shipper uploads his/her information. Also important is ASD, and SRM sheets that are pulled by drivers at pickup. If you pull a shippers sheets (from blue book) and forget to turn them in that night, suddenly anything in the 1 day territory will be unknown to the receiving centers. Many may not know, but each one of the sheets is keyed in after they are electronically scanned into a system. So making sure ASD's and SRM's are legible and turned in each day is very important. This is also why it is so important for shippers to properly do an end of day on Online systems. When they do an end of day that info is basically sent to UPS's servers and available later on. I can run bulk reports up to 5 days out and see large stops I will get in the future. So when we dispatch we use and average growth rate for that day when planning. In our center it is usually 3-7%. Problem is it doesn't fall evenly on each driver each day. Also things that can destroy dispatch is situations like the flooding in IL, IA that caused CACH to run 100's of loads behind for many days.
