[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 773644, member: 4653"] One other quick point and it has to do with penny wise and pound foolish. Things like start car method being 2 or 3 seconds or moving packages into the 18 inch selection area. They are all great in theory but it becomes wasted when drivers spend 30 minutes driving and then swapping work. My ignorant theory: leave it alone and let the methods do its purpose. Focus on this for every driver. So what if someone is over 11 hours? Keep the 2 others you were going to send and waste fuel and time at their 8.6 plan. Why take the efficiency out of their routes? Its the one thing UPS has going for them (built-in efficeincy and stop density) and they still tinker with it. WHY? Again, leave it alone and let each driver finish the route. Don't be sending 2 guys from another town just to keep him under 9.5. My argument excludes scenarios in which a driver is going to miss a pick up or service commitments, obviously... [/QUOTE]
