Final answer:
Approximately 854 shipments will not dispatch from the site today, after calculating the volume of packages delivered by DSPs and those allocated to the flex pool, and considering the dispatch capacity of the flex pool drivers.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate how many shipments will not dispatch from the site, we first need to determine the number of packages DSPs will deliver and how many are allocated to the flex pool. The site expects a total volume of 57,544 packages today. DSPs will deliver 92% of this amount, while the remaining 8% will go to the flex pool.
Let's calculate the volume for each:
- Packages delivered by DSPs: 57,544 * 0.92 = 52,940.48 (rounded down to the nearest whole package)
- Packages for the flex pool: 57,544 * 0.08 = 4,603.52 (rounded up to the nearest whole package)
Assuming each of the 150 drivers in the flex pool accepts routes with a standardized package rate (SPR) of 25 packages each, the total number of packages that can be dispatched by the flex pool is:
150 drivers * 25 packages per driver = 3,750 packages
The difference between the packages allocated to the flex pool and the number that can be dispatched gives us the number of shipments that will not dispatch:
4,604 packages - 3,750 packages = 854 packages
Therefore, approximately 854 shipments will not dispatch from the site today.
