[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 980130, member: 33696"] Of course, computers can learn, only when the operator / dispatcher highlights which areas of the delivery area are 1st priority, ie businesses that close by 5pm, vs residentials that can be delivered at a later time... "[B]garbage in - garbage out[/B]" type of thing. As a cover driver, I can usually visualize each stop in a certain area within a week & suggest a better "trace" to deliver the parcels to reduce send-agains... but only asking the regular driver of that service area why he has his stop order the way it was. this past saturday, the last 2 stops were at a Walmart (which closes late) and a medical office, which closes @ 18:30... i got to walmart at 19:00 and the medical office would have to wait until Tuesday for their medical supplies :P with express, it must be hard to put ROADS in use because of certain time deadlines of pickups/ air dropoffs/ b2b deliveries/ etc... how many times have an Express courier has to break the stop order of that ROADS program to meet a pickup/delivery deadline?
