UP Crew Management

Can someone explain what's up with the way UP handles crewbase locations and train assignments? It seems like they tend to put all their eggs in one basket so to speak. For example, I've noticed in Northern California, the vast majority of the crewbases only crew locals and switchers, with Roseville supplying road crews for trains that originate/terminate or change crews at other crewbases that are treated mainly as away terminals. For example Roseville has the Roseville-Oakland, Roseville-Dunsmuir, and Roseville-Milpitas pools all to itself despite Oakland, Dunsmuir, and Milpitas having their own crewbases. It seems to me like this just creates a very unbalanced system, with alot of crews working out of one terminal, with the others relegated to mainly local duty.
