Clevelandrocks, You indicated to us that Drivers have problems that they did not have 30 years ago. While I dont want to go off topic here please bear with me here. I feel that Driving today is not even near what it was in the 80's. There was no satellite tracking, walmarts, drugs or issues in near real time of driver management like today. Everything is much more "Faster" and "Driven" with every hour that counts. The drivers that cannot run with the Fleet Manager or keep healthy and stay with the flow of on time deliverys were sent home. End of story. I imagine team drivers with pups would roll them out of the west coast. It would take a team much shorter time than single drivers to get it out of Modesto. However, with my use of Fed Ex for computer parts the best way to get it shipped is by Air. It is usually into Memphis and sent to local sorting and to my house (Usually I have to go get it because I am very hard to find) I still will rely on Air for my "mail" from the west coast. Usually it has to go thru Louisville Kentucky but all things get to where they need to rather quickly. A day or so. It will take a little longer by rail. Air is the best way. Yes, short haul pups bring the cargo from aircraft to sorting. I have always advocated trucking as a way to get it from A to B directly via a Team Operation.. but in today's world of literally "Time-Driven" economics.. no one will wait for that "slow" or "Problem" driver to deliver (If he or she does) Put that trailer or box on the rail or load the package on the plane and get it moving. That way everyone especially the customer who wants that package now is happy.
