[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 304666, member: 4653"] P-man, I totally agree with you. If the OCA needs to picked up earlier than it should go to driver B. It was my understanding though that the dispatcher was completely taken out of the equation and was forced to dispatch the OCA to the closest driver at the time. Correct me if I'm wrong. The closest driver is not always the best choice. We need the human element involved here. Just because a driver is closer on a map dosen't mean he(or she) is the most efficient choice. Excluding another driver servicing the area later in the day, other factors come into play. Things like major rivers (yeah, Smith is only 1/4 of a mile from the OCA, but the closest bridge to cross the river is 1 mile away), interstates, and other things would require another drive to make the pick-up. GPS can be a good tool for UPS if they use it wisely. From what I read to this date, they are already screwing it up! [/QUOTE]
