[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 768536, member: 927"] Dill, If stops are reduced in just a single area and the loops and trace are good, then you are right. The route cannot be broken up..... Generally however this is not the case. Here is what I usually see...... Stops are reduced and not in just a single area. Reducing a single route then takes making adjustments to many routes. You give the A driver more work, adjust the B drivers, C Drivers, and so on. Then the baseline drivers handle the remaining. This is what is supposed to happen. Usually, the PDS doesn't want to do the work, doesn't know how to do the work, (or more often doesn't have time) so a pocket dispatch is created. This leads to the situation you mention. BTW, when I go and see what people are doing instead of this important planning, they are running missorts or putting out other fires. That is the additional important cost of missorts... I'm not disagreeing what what you see from the drivers standpoint. What you see is an impossible dispatch and a directive to make it work. It won't work... You are right. From my position however, I can't give up on pushing the operation to do the job right... P-Man [/QUOTE]
