[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1735059, member: 28388"] You've been courteous and somewhat entertaining so I'll tell you a little more. Each center where the drivers are based has a different cutoff time for air packages and non-air packages to be brought back to the building. My hub is large and close to an airport so our 2nd day airs are treated like ground and get there within the 2 days without being back by the air trailer cutoff, but I have to have next day airs back to the building by 7:50PM at the latest. Everything else has to be back by 8:45PM to be able to be unloaded, sorted and to make it into the proper trailers heading out. That being said, there are a few different reasons your packages could be missing the cutoffs. A regular small business typically gets one pickup somewhere around 5pmish by a regular package car (small brown truck) driver, but it varies greatly. If they ship a enough volume they could have a dedicated trailer that we pickup every night with a big tractor and they might not be segregating the 2 day air packages, or they might have multiple pickups during the day where the air is picked up then the ground gets picked up later, again depending on the volume there and the 2DS packages are going out later. I used to run a route where one high volume shipper was left one of our trailers to fill up all day long then we'd send a tractor trailer driver to pick it up just after 8PM each night at which time the driver would leave an empty trailer for them to start filling up. I would come in my small brown truck and pickup the next day air and international packages also at 8PM. In this example, labels could be printed after 8PM and loaded into one of our trailers, however it doesn't count as going out that day because our trailer already was pulled at 8PM. Does that make sense? [/QUOTE]
