[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 974066, member: 33696"] what's DRA ([I]isn't this ROADS?[/I]) and OSS mean? in this division, we already have that in place since i joined in 2006. We had a full manifest of every parcel in our package car in stop order, a turn-by-turn directions, and a map with connect-the-dots trace of you route area. when I was a regular driver servicing the same area daily, and got a crappy "trace" of the route, I would circle or "zone" which areas to deliver first to avoid send-agains to business addresses. I hated doubling-back to the same zip code. That happened to me last week and what normally would have taken 9.5 hours turned into 14 hours when following that goofy trace... that area covered only ~6 zip codes. this Sat, I covered a smart driver's area. He had taken the steps to maximize his trace so I can do a high number of stops-per-on-road-hour... i was exactly 8 hours on the road with ~1 hour packing/sorting the vehicle. and i was covering 10 zip codes in his service area. it all depends on the person behind the computer making sure those routes are running efficiently, that I agree with your statement. But, with Express needing to get AirMail off your vehicles ASAP & Ground having certain B2B dropoff/ pickup deadlines, I don't think this model is going to work in your divisions. [/QUOTE]
