[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 304432, member: 4653"] P-man, this is why its a bad idea. The dispacth team already knows which OCA's go with each driver. Allowing them to look at a map and choose the closest driver is just going to cause mass confusion, headaches, and the wrong driver getting the wrong OCA at least 50% of the time. The simplest example I can give is this. An OCA comes in at 1200 for 15 Main st. Driver A delivered 15 Main st. at 11 am and proceeded off area(might be sent to him first). Driver B is doing house calls at 1200 and is the closest driver to the OCA when it comes in. Driver C is on the other side of town, yet makes a daily pickup at 15 Main st at 430. Under our new rules, driver B would be given the OCA and told to break from his house calls because he is the closest driver at the time. But it would be better for our business to let driver C take the OCA while making his pickups later that day at the same address. If UPS moves away from this concept then I will lose all respect for them as a great business and advise everyone I know to sell all their UPS stock. [/QUOTE]
