[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1195310, member: 13921"] Not really a valid argument. When I went out blind on routes, there was no EDD/PAS. Each shelf had to be set up based on area knowledge and you had to spend time at every stop to make sure that you got all the packages for that address. Many preloaders put stuff on the floor and shelf. It was not uncommon for me to go back to several stops when I found packages later in the day. Other than knowing what door to go to (and many of the less obvious doors are noted with a cPad message), it is way, way, way easier to go out blind today than it was 8-10 years ago. There is really no reason why an experienced driver could not go out on a route blind and within 3 days be matching the regular guy's numbers. There are still 4 or 5 routes in my center that I do not know and I have been thinking about doing them just to prove the point. Besides that, maybe I will find a nicer place to have lunch. [/QUOTE]
