[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 1084626, member: 33696"] ha, I guess that guy is fairly new to the game & didn't pack his rental vehicle well before he left the terminal... i'll spend less than 10 seconds to roll up that back door, pull out the box, pre-scan, close / secure door... yeap, we get turn-by-turns, maps w/ sequenced dots in stop order, and the paper version of the delivery manifest (in case you didn't bring a spare battery & your scanner dies). The regular drivers may just chuck the turn-by-turns once they learn their route & just go w/ maps instead. Heck, the contractors pay for them if they're printed out or not. Once I learn a route(usually by day 3), i just use the back of those papers for my kids use to draw on <shrugs> [COLOR=#000000][INDENT][/INDENT] [/COLOR] Other drivers use the turn-by-turns because the print is bigger than the print on the scanner or the delivery manifest. Most of the drivers i see are in their 50's or older & that's the reason they told me... maps w/ the dots plotted are a quick way to see if the sequenced is "traced" well or not. with Stepvans & shelves, the driver can either follow the sequence or look at the maps and do it "his way" & go out of sequence (breaking trace) since he has room to move around. The driver in the boxtruck/rental sometimes gets screwed time-wise if he has to "break trace" & tries to re-arrange his load to deliver it in a more efficient way... it's either spend time fighting the trace or just go w/ the flow & knock 'em out. If i'll be working out of a rental, before I scan/load my truck ~ i'll have the lady print out my maps first & verify a good or bad trace, then pack my truck according to what I think will maximize my efficiency to maintain my SPORH. If i get to drive a stepvan, then I just scan, load, & go The person who plots the zones sometimes screws up & they have to be reminded that we need to "straight line" to maximize our efficiency since we're not paid by the hour... Easiest of all 3 opcos since there's basically no time commit [/QUOTE]
