[QUOTE="bigmistake, post: 595092, member: 22313"] Some experienced drivers have shared options with me in avoiding late air. I know all are wrong, or at least questionable. I have been a Saturday Air driver for 1 year and 4 months since being DQ due to an accident. I deliver to a town which is actually not serviced by our center, only on Saturday. I left with way too much work this past Saturday, sent a message to the center asking for help with enough notice. I get a message to call center ASAP 20 minutes later. Was told no one is available and to deliver everything on time. Some suggestions I have been given: 1. Deliver business/signature required stops first, then DR everything before the commit time. 2. Use a zip code for a town that has a relaxed commit time. An additional 90 minutes is allowed, commit time would be 1:30pm. 3. After the commit time, don't sheet the package, just deliver it without scanning. I know all of these are wrong, or at least highly questionable. Whoever said there isn't pressure driving Saturday Air is misinformed. Anyways, I gave in to the pressure, DR everything by the commit time. Which is the lesser of those 3 evils? [/QUOTE]
