[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 1171443, member: 33696"] scroll around a few posts in this section; HD uses this program long before Express tries to adopt it to their operating structure. VRP (vehicle route planning) is our term, but it's similar your Ground vehicles are pre-loaded like UPS's versions so i have an idea of why they won't implement the same program over there; because you have various pickup windows to deal w/ as well as on-call pickups Express tries to implement DRA, but if they don't have the management to quickly adapt to those ever-changing P1, P2, sos deliveries first, it's a sink-or-swim dilemma. HD works well over the years because our deadlines are none; just try to deliver everything in your package car on the same day. sometimes, one or 2 drivers will still bitch about evening deliveries because some of them are basically done by 1500 and be mowing their lawns by 1700. they can see what routes will be out until that time to service them & will flex those appointment deliveries to them. At the terminal i'm at, about 70% are done by 1700, while the rest will be out until 2000 or later due to their workload and/or distance from the hub [/QUOTE]
