Handling multipule loads is rather tricky but can be done. I point to your LTL example. "Less than truckload" Let's see here. Myself and the wife had a orange load out of Florida. This load was bought and paid for by a loose knit group of people spread between where was it... oh yea.. in the New York state near the Newburgh River Bridge. I believe there was about 9 stops on that load. The mission was to deliver oranges to individual people and to church groups who are selling them locally to the people who generally may not be able to get fresh oranges that time of the year. One thing they dont teach in driving school: You dont take a Century and a 53' trailer with a reefer unit humming into a residentail area of single family homes at night and back down someone's driveway where you have 20 people eager to get you as close to the door as possible. I rather have one trained driver who thinks like I do and knows how to back me into a hole. (Dock, doorway, parking space etc) than 20 people trying to guess which way that creaking trailer was going to go. *Sigh. Anyways every stop was executed to best of ability and all have thier oranges. Anything you can imagine to any one who has driven any length of time probably did happen. I was told in my trucking school that 100 people wanna drive a truck. Cool aint it? 60 will fail the medical exam, or have issues that cannot permit them to be on the road. 40 left. 32 will make it to school. halfway thru 20 will remain. I think about 19 will graduate with a CDL License. Of that 19... 3 months later 2 will be dead or injured pernamently, 8 quit forever. 9 left. after one year 5 will stay on. The other 4 will either be injured or have issues with the job's breaking on the body and mind and quit. After 5 years 2 of those 5 drivers will stay on for the rest of thier lives. Those are the drivers we want to keep. Recruiting hundreds of thousands of people a year to keep millions of rigs running. By comparision the railroads run a hell of alot of freight using a handful of professionals.
