The biggest savings so far with ROADS is actually the secondary document sort.....before only the couriers that knew the whole station were really able to do a good job on the secondary.....now it's much quicker and just about anyone can do it. Still need to have some general knowledge though for the ones that the ACO doesn't get corrected etc.
The issue of having another route number on your pkgs might be due to the fact that currently ROADS is unable to split out the P1 and P2 in the same area between 2 different loops.....for example if you do the P1 in an area, but someone like a midday from a different loop does the P2, it will show your number instead....but it does help avoid P1 getting put in the midday's freight, sometimes. Or your OSS/Engineer might just be too lazy to fix it, just keep turning it in to your mgr, eventually they'll get tired of you handing it to them and get it fixed.
Sounds like you are all on SRA ROADS (Static Route Assignment), this is the first phase and only assigns it to the route. DRA (Dynamic Route Assignment) will do it in stop order and also show where it should be loaded on the truck. We won't be required to run it in the "suggested" order by ROADS, unless you aren't hitting your SPH goals doing it the way you think it should be done.
