Given that scenario, have the agent that you are using to create the shipments set up to test for the existence of the latest pickup date on an order.

If that exists, process it as normal and choose the express service.

If the order release does not have a latest pickup date, set the earliest pickup date to be today +1, build the shipment (shipment start time will be today +1) and then if necessary clear the earliest date from the order release.

This should all be relatively easy to do with either the standard automation agent actions or with some Direct SQL Update.

If you are bulk planning the orders, you may have to do something to set the same logic on the order releases prior to the bulk plan process starting.
