[QUOTE="GroundUpsGuy, post: 4365193, member: 79836"] Ground Driver for the past 6 years. I’ve been stopping by to read posts for over 5 years and finally felt the urge to post something. Here’s my DRO opinion after about 5 months. It was baptism by fire, you bang your head a lot asking if a FX asked for input, too many daily fires to put out on the backside to really get much help. Thankfully we’ve been on GC for at least 2 years. 1) You can set route boundaries. It’s a ton of work up front but your drivers will thank you. At least those who have been around the block once or twice. 2) SIDS are still a thing but don’t expect your days to start in the 1000s and flow to the 1500s on down the line. DRO has routing flaws and you might start with a 3000 then to 8500, to 1000, to 8000, to 1500 etc. 3) On average I was running 27sph before DRO, dropped to 21sph but now it’s back to 26/27. On the other hand SmartPost volume increase was projected around 20% but it’s been closer to 45%. My Peak average was 135/215. Bumped up to 170/255 but has been dropping as more drivers are hired.
