[QUOTE="soberups, post: 2767712, member: 14668"] How do you plan on combining 2 full pickup routes into one delivery route on Mondays? Pickups have to be done in a consistent time frame. You cant just show up at a heavy pickup 3 hours early on Monday (which is often their heaviest shipping day) and expect them to be ready. Nor can you force 1500 cubic feet of pickup volume into a P-1000. Especially when that P-1000 still has 500 cubic feet of undelivered business volume from an adjacent (eliminated) route on board. We have enough problems already on Mondays during the summer when management gets cut-happy, thinning the volume out even more by delivering it on Saturdays will only make things worse. I get that we need to provide Saturday delivery service in order to compete. But we also still need to provide Monday [B]pickup[/B] service in order to compete. [/QUOTE]
