[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 1025828, member: 16651"] mentoyou; Yeah, the "dispatch didn't change". And the charts were all "well-written and "color coded" as well. Right!!! [smile] Maybe that was the case in YOUR center...but, even there, I suspect you had to come rather "late to the game", so to speak, to have that type of experience. And if you would make a claim like "your dispatch didn't change", you apparently weren't even IN the game all that long. People seem to forget that when the company started to move away from driver sort 'n' loads, and use a preload operation, the charts were rudimentary at best; i.e. - "Main St. of town XXX in Sec. 3A, all other streets 3B and 3C" and such. There wasn't any "color coding". Nor was there any written indication of how to adjust the load if dispatch changes WERE made...and they were made all the time. In truth, to be a decent preloader, one had to know virtually as much about the routes being loaded as the drivers themselves. Later - much later - when sequential dispatch came into play, and addresses actually had sequence numbers assigned to them, it became a little more refined. But even then it took a lot more "skill" (read experience) than it does today...and that was especially true when it came to loading "new" cars. Not saying it's easy now, but it was a real bear "way back when". [/QUOTE]
