[QUOTE="Artee, post: 5417829, member: 24351"] On the AGFS side of things, Response was meant to send less freight into MEMH because they did not have the staffing to deal with the volume at that time. Hence planes not leaving on time and freight being left behind in MEMH. Since INDY had excess capacity they were not utilizing, a new split was created to make cans for INDY to bypass the Memphis hub. We had to create new trucking routes and fly extra planes to move this freight to a different hub. If MEMH is willing to take this freight back that means they have increased their staffing(not likely) or volume has fallen off so much that the reduced staff at the MEMH hub is enough to sort this new lower volume of freight without disruption of the launch times of the planes. FDX has finally come to realize that the extra cost of planes, trucks, routes and personnel to have two sort locations when one will suffice, are not justified with the volume levels we are experiencing.
