What does that look like?
A vehicle drops the morning shift at the gate, then takes the night-shift staff home on a different timing, or picks up the general shift.
| Time | Run |
|---|---|
| Early morning | Pickup for shift A |
| Morning | Pickup for the general shift |
| Afternoon | Drop for shift A |
| Evening | Drop for the general shift |
What about the driver?
Drivers get rest between duties; on long days a second driver takes over.
When are two vehicles needed?
When shift changes overlap or routes are long, so that both runs cannot be done on time.
