[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 348441, member: 12570"] helen, I would hope that this technology will be used for more than controlling drivers, although I am sure that this will be one of it's functions. In the example above, a driver called in to say that he couldn't run off a misload which was just around the corner. In the past, the OMS would have had that driver leave the misload at a specified drop point and had the driver of that route swing by that drop point and pick up the pkg and deliver it. Now, the OMS has the technology to properly assign the delivery and to tell the driver to get off his behind and run it off himself. This should be useful when assigning OCAs as we all have drivers who don't like doing OCAs and will do all that they can to have them assigned to someone else. As with all new technology, whether UPS related or not, there will be pros and cons, sound usage and, unfortunately, abuse. [/QUOTE]
