[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 1160466, member: 31608"] You are dodging my point. 1) I personally don't care that you are allowed to touch DMS; but, the fact is that DMS can be used to add/cut stops from route to route, so access is rightfully (in general) restricted. Any person could move any stop to any route with that ... I think we can all agree that is a responsibility that should be handled with much concern. 2) You are missing, or dodging, my point - if the shipper does the EOD correctly, then everything is fine; when they do not, the stop cannot be seen by the dispatch supervisor in DPS as they are "cutting the soup" and deciding the plan of what goes where in what route, so on and so forth. If you cannot see it, and the stops don't show up, then the routes blow up in your face and you are left with a crap dispatch. Compounding this issue is with large centers (such as yours), where the margin of error increases considerably. The more shippers, the more room for EOD errors, which means more incoming loads they cannot see; which means crappy dispatch. I'm not excusing UPS of all problems, but this is the primary cause of dispatch problems. [/QUOTE]
