Nope, we would have just driven in circles until we ran out of gas.If you rely that heavily on a smart phone, could you have delivered when there were no cell phones?
Thank you re-raise. How do they go about getting their route map. Do they have to ask for it or do they have access to it where they can just print it out on their own?A lot of the cover drivers at my center print a map of the route before start time which has each stop that day on it. They are numbered in orion order and really help give you a visual picture to take with you. It is a lot more than most of us had years ago.
Great advice. Thank you.There are 3 routes that I cover that I carry maps and there are 4 routes that I do not know, but will learn this summer. I'll carry maps for those. I keep my maps in section 1, I glance at where I need to be for the next 3-4 stops and go from there.
I covered a route for 3 years. The 1st time I did the route, I did it blind and scratched it (had a really fat time allowance.) While I was on vacation, the guy that covered used his phone/gps and was an hour+ over every day.
It is way easier to see whole neighborhoods on a map, than a phone, plus coverage is still not great everywhere.
I work in a pretty small center where we can just go to one of the computers and go to files and select your own route that day and print. It prints on the printer right next to the computer. Someone will be able to help you with it the first couple of times. I never do it, but some bid drivers still do it every day. Good luck and take it one stop at a time, we've all been there.Thank you re-raise. How do they go about getting their route map.

Because if it takes you 2 minutes to enter each address into GPS and you're running 160 stops that's roughly 2x160= 320 / 60 minutes cones to 5.3 wasted hours in a day.
If you are looking at the GPS you aren't paying attention to the things around you and you could get into an accidentHow would using a map make that any faster? You can end up using a map or GPS for minutes at a time. Same thing; same result too. GPS may be better. It guides you so you don't have to stop or pull over to view the map! As a matter of fact they should be built IN to delivery vehicles globally, by government demand. It serves a right. Just like backup cams are required on each car, and van made in 2015 and up. Actually.... those types of things should be invested in voluntary.
You better make sure your GPS is for a truck a not a car. A package car going under a 10 foot under pass doesn't end well.That's why you slow down when you are 20 houses/10 businesses away. Who looks at the GPS when they’re actually driving? The screen is only there for a reference to a reminder. Mostly with sound alerts and voice. Same way we are reminded to check our gas gauges and mileage every now and then. They are only reference points towards what's advised. You can argue it whichever way you like. Checking the time, good or bad? Checking the weather on your car screen, phone, or a device on your wrist? Those are all neutral arguments that can go both ways. That's because there are people who focus on things AROUND the road, instead of objects in relation to driving. Like the "crash test UPS dummy" who would check out how beautiful the clouds look today while vehicle is in operation. On the other hand, who doesn't? I want proven facts now in 2018 and 2019 there are more accidents by drivers who are using Bluetooth speaking devices and other hands free circumstances. Companies use statistics of neutral circumstances to gain alternatives. Such as how smart or dumb/high or low of an IQ they believe an applicant has or is. It's a control mechanism behind the obligation to sort out personality types during hiring processes. They don't want some * who sucks at reading a map using their company to gain success. Reason. They think certain types of people do not understand the concept of life and "just wanna have a "job" steering a big yellow truck down the road.=who they don't take serious.

My on road can't wipe his butt without an orion tablet on his side. It's pathetic. I think he uses it to find his way home everyday.Hold on a minute Sami don’t know about any government demand for gps
Lmao if this is the future of ups it’s comical
You can shove all that bs up where it came from ,, learn the area , drive around and it will come to you ,, a good UPS driver isn’t following GPS , he knows where he’s going , if you get a split , get a map , group all the stops for each street ,, this has worked for over a hundred years ,, Jesus Christ you millennials, give two hour whiney answers for every thing ,, don’t like it ,, go to friend n DominosThat's why you slow down when you are 20 houses/10 businesses away.
