[QUOTE="soberups, post: 843147, member: 14668"] p-man... 2 years ago a new street was built in the town I deliver to, and there are now 3 houses on it. The PDS at the time made a data-entry error and mistakenly placed this new street in the wrong unit, and on the wrong route. So a stop for one of these 3 houses now gets dispatched to a route clear over on the opposite side of town, and the driver must make a 9-mile round trip in order to deliver the stop. We have [I]repeatedly[/I] brought the problem to the attention of our current PDS, who claims that he cannot fix it because moving an address from one unit to another requires some "special authorization" from I.E. that has not and will not ever be granted. So about once or twice a week, whoever delivers to that area gets to make a 9-mile round trip for one stop. It has been this way for 2 years now and [B]there is no hope that it will ever change[/B]. If we cannot even resolve a 2 year old data-entry issue without I.E's blessing, what chance is there that we will [I]ever[/I] be able to have any sort of rational, coherent loop detail? And why should we as drivers make [I]any effort at all[/I] to reduce miles when the company we work for is itself making the problem worse? [/QUOTE]
