[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 304222, member: 927"] Trpl: I'm not sure I understand your point. Today, an OMS has to dispatch the OCA without any information on where you are currently or what deliveries are remaining on your car. At best, they look at the area you cover and give the OCA to the appropriate driver. With EDD, the center can know the deliveries on your car. DIAD tells them which ones are complete, and which ones are remaining. It also tells them your GPS location. I know you're going to say that EDD is not perfect and that it doesn't know the special circumstances of your route. I also know that a poor OMS will make a poor decision. However, why would we not want to take the first step? Maybe one day the computer can automatically make the decision? Maybe DIAD will help you make better decisions on road to reduce miles? Maybe DIAD will be linked to the customers one day. Again, seems like UPS is taking the first step. P-Man [/QUOTE]
