[QUOTE="Dvr Alan, post: 3458270, member: 71569"] Technology is not always the best route (no pun intended). The easiest option you have is to hire someone from the area(s) that the route(s) is in. That will offset learning the area. The best option other than that is to have a laminated map of your delivery areas and have someone from your company actually plot the stops. I did this with the new system for a "manager" who had to run a route. After I plotted the stops...in the order the new system had them listed...I looked at our boss and told him I would NEVER run the route that way! What the others are trying to say is that area knowledge comes from experience. And experience comes from doing the job over time and most likely new drivers will not last over time, due to the reasons already mentioned. The idea of operating a business...I once had and hooked up with Ex, over time I realized it wasn't MY business. Others believe otherwise and I wish them and you well...technology or not! [/QUOTE]
