[QUOTE="GBiscuit, post: 1155010, member: 48186"] Its simple, just put a 10-15 minute delay or an hour (whatever) so customers dont' know exactly where the position of the truck is but they have an idea of what area it is in. Also, the software could (and should aready) have a predetermined route (optimal driving planned route) that way it could send an email or SMS to their phone letting them know about what time to expect it. That way the system becomes more efficient on both ends and people could plan accordingly especially if it's an important package. It would help prevent theft if the package is left at the door, help call BS on apartment lease offices, people could be there at that time to determine if the package needs to be refused and sent back due to damage instead of waiting a few days or more to have to drive back to the UPS store and do it yourself, etc... I would pay more, the increased revenue would pay for itself if not make more money for the greedy ass board members, customers would by happier, dishonest employees would be accountable and you could even tie the software into the engine module to see who is tearing the trucks up and needs to be fired or reprimanded. I think its a win, win for everyone. Besides, GPS technology is cheap these days. P.S., to any UPS execs that see this, I'm claiming rights to the idea and would like my royalties from it! Thanks!
