there is no way HTF can be a break terminal. Too far for the western NY terminals to go. Now for NEW...that place is a disaster. NOT just built a huge new building with alot of room, only makes sense.

Is (NEW) Newark. Where is HTF and NOT??
I think the R+L thought would be to relieve pressure from NEW and have Eastern PA and south NJ to NOR and New England handled by HTF. As for the western NY terminals, there is only 1 (BUF) that would have an issue. SYR would be fine with a HTF break turn and BUF would likely switch to a meet and switch as a opposed to a turn to ALB like they do now.

From what I understand. Changes are to go into effect on May 4th. I guess it's all part of the new LCV program in the northeast. HTF will use the drop lot in Springfield, MA and do lay overs in Buffalo.
NOT is the new Norristown terminal in Hatfield, PA.

The switch from NEW to the two western terminals was completed the first week of May.

starting june 8th when all the effects take place it's looking like a disaster in the making!
They want the dock shut down by 10pm.....7yrs ago when we were doing 190 bills on a heavy night it was like 10:30pm, now were doing over 500 per night....don't think so.

Well,so far the change is killing our city productivity.Late line hauls are causing us to leave late(almost 11am today with a full pedal run) and having a hard time getting both deliveries and p\u's done.I hope they can pull their heads out of their asses soon.

Good. If you have a long route just find what hotels take Comcheks, take your good ole' time, and let whatever happens happen.
There was a time when I actually cared about this job, but when I leave as late as I've been leaving here lately? And half the load ends up coming back? Nope, don't care no more. I got all day. I have hotels on my route.

I don't know about all that. I sure don't pack a bag with clean underwear to go out with city freight

I haven't either so far, but I'm 2 - 2 1/2 hours from the terminal when I finish and if I run out of hours, either someone's picking me up, or I'm going to a hotel.
We have some guys that finsh farther away than that.

They'll either send someone out to come get you or have you towed home, I know, been there, done that.
Gots to get that freight to the yard.
Here's the kicker tho, when they send a driver out to you, you'll still get to drive.
The driver will bring you a non-cdl type vehicle to drive back. At my terminal, it'll either be the shop's pickup or a saleman's Impala. :TR10driving03:

Slingblade I don't know where you run but if you a city driver and you are that far out from the terminal I hope you don't have to get back quick.
