[QUOTE="Marne Vet, post: 1267774, member: 51053"] Exactly. On a trip in the city with commercial and residential stops, getting to the area and getting started is easy. Knowing where all the delivery points are, who to see for signatures (yes, some places make you go to one person), or how the truck is set-up for a particular trip is what slows people down. EDD is a joke. Especially when the truck is blown-out. If it's in a running loop you might have one area on the 1000 shelf today, and tomorrow it might be on the 2000 shelf. I do foresee a day when GPS is implemented directly onboard the package cars, integrated with our DIADs, and even have some sort of microchip type stickers on the packages themselves that know EXACTLY where the packages are inside the vehicles cutting down on having to dig for them. Who knows, but the current system still sucks. I've driven before EDD, DIADs, and cameras, and have gone out a few times forgetting to download EDD, and didn't have a problem. All I saw EDD give me was more work and more paperwork to worry about getting placed on. [/QUOTE]
