[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 52584"] " have several routes on my area that certainly are not profitable. Problem is that they have the same zip as the town. I know the town is a good profit for us because I have a pickup account there that sends out at least 80 packages a day. 3 weeks ago they shipped 210 in one day.

I'm guessing on the finer details like everyone else. I have seen some input from someone that was somewhat involved in this plan.

I would think the Cach hub would be the logical choice to move a lot of this work since it has at least 8 automated small sorts. This would require extra feeder movements to move the work to CACH and explain the two days extra needed for this service. The volume / market potential I think will drive the decision.
