Deep Diving Late Departures

Question 1

Late Departure, wha is it?

Answer 1

A load will typically be considered ‘late’ if it has departed 30 minutes past the SDT, with few exceptions.

Question 2

‘Local Carrier’ managed lane?

Answer 2

Only loads departing 30 minutes past CPT will be considered late.
-All local loads have 30 mins to depart regardless of check-in. This is because they don’t have a long distance road inspection.

Question 3

If a truck arrives late to the FC, what are the two possible results?

Answer 3

1. If the truck arrives after scheduled arrival time (SAT), but before SDT/CPT, the FC will have 30 minutes to depart the truck plus the number of minutes the driver was late.
2. If the truck arrives after SDT/CPT, the FC will have 30 minutes plus the difference between scheduled arrival time (SAT) and CPT/SDT to depart.

Question 4

For the two scenarios that pertain to trucks that arrive late, what additional time do PUP trailers have?

Answer 4

8 minutes is given to depart a set of pups, due to the additional time needed to assemble.
