[QUOTE="BoxDriver, post: 992548, member: 36847"] It's not dispatches job to reduce the load, it's the contractors. Dispatch would galdly move stops off a heavy route if the contractor had another route to move them too. I have not tried to update my HD route in a long time. The system is screwed up beyond what reorganizing the route would do. Frequently I come in to find the computer has for some reason routed me to the other side of the county for a few stops then back to the other side where I start usually then loops back to where it started. Every time I ask why they have no clue. Don't even get me started on the turn by turns telling me to drive down roads that don't exist or not knowing of ones that have been there for years. Also there seems to be no way for them to fix misplots which is a huge problem on rural routes. I always have a few, but here have been days where close to 10% of my route has been plotted to the wrong street, which is usually 5-10 miles away. My favorite is when it misplots a good address in my area to a road in another zip code not even covered by my station. That zooms my overview map out to the point where it's useless. [/QUOTE]
