[QUOTE="soberups, post: 778831, member: 14668"] A trace that works fine when I have 90 stops and a walk-through load....does [I]not[/I] work when I have 150 stops and my car is blown out. A trace that works fine when all I have to do is residential deliveries...does [I]not[/I] work when I have 60 business stops in two cities that are 15 miles apart that have to be delivered from 9:00 to 11:59AM or 1:00 to 4:59PM. A trace that works fine when I dont have to worry about containing any pickups....does [I]not[/I] work when I have a 35-stop pickup route along with an air drop to complete between 2:55 and 4:30, and I have to figure out a way to force 400 cubic feet of pickup volume in over the top of the 400 cubic feet of delivery volume that I am still lugging around in a P-700. A trace that works fine when I am only responsible for [I]my[/I] delivery area....does [I]not[/I] work when some idiot in a cubicle decides to eliminate 2 entire routes 15 minutes before start time and I wind up with 60 random stops thrown into a pile on the floor by a preloader who is getting screamed at by his boss to hurry up and get off of the clock. Its pretty easy to sit behind a desk and create a trace that looks good on MapQuest. Its a bit more complicated when you actually have to go out in the real world with a truck full of boxes and try to follow it. [/QUOTE]
