# Why does a new shift need new pickup towns?

**Short answer:** Because new hires come from further away.

When a plant hires for a new shift, recruitment reaches **further than the existing workforce**. New staff come from towns the site has not served, so each new town means a **new route or a longer one**, which changes how many vehicles are needed and what size.
