[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 666893, member: 1664"] [B][COLOR=DarkGreen]DECA is an excellent program, and I applaud your efforts. GPS is for tracking and observation, not planning. UPS is currently in a dumbing down phase attempting to make the model fit the real world, through technology. The attempt is to take the individual intelligence of any given employee and replace it with a formulaic paradigm. A good analogy would be a plate of cooked spaghetti with a light sprinkling of black pepper. The plate is the area to deliver. The spaghetti is the roadways. The pepper is the delivery points. The formula/dogmatic approach will attempt efficiency of distance between all points. The pragmatic approach of a dedicated skilled driver -(read as efficient)- will take in the constant variables-(yes, that is an oxymoron)- and meet the goal. As of yet, no CRAY computer can predict a day as well as a seasoned driver who looks into his pkg car in the morning. Directly to your main questions; No GPS, no maps, just area knowledge on my part. 10mpg is a good average on all vehicles I have driven. Cody, I wish you great success in your pursuit.
