Our station has been "unable" to print DRA maps for the last few days. Is anyone else having this problem?
I am not making fun at all. What do you use your mapping for? Don't you just put in stop order and go from there? I have DRA but don't use it at all. I'm in a downtown area and DRA is a mess.
The point of DRA is to be able to take any driver and put them in any area so they can run that route (great in theory, sucks in reality). Without a map, how would they find a street that might only be 3-4 blocks away? DRA sucks in business areas, but in pure residential areas, it does pretty damn good.I am not making fun at all.

A courier in my loop does 15-20 more stops every day than what DRA says she should have. So, my manager went on a checkride last week and asked her to run the route EXACTLY how DRA says. I have no idea of the result. But, I can imagine what happened.I only use it to see how friend'ed up dra is. if stop 60 is next to 24 Im doing both at same time. No round about, loop the loo's if I can avoid it. Never have time in fine sort to look at address's on boxes. VAn and go..
Well how would swing drivers learn the areas? I would think you'd do it that way.
Our center has a Mapsco that our cover drivers will use to make copies of the areas that they will be covering that day.
Illegal.
why?
