[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 3627692, member: 60252"] I used to take from 15-45 minutes a day to make sure I knew where every package was going and that it was plotted right, and corrected the order to avoid doubling back. IN a bigger area, it makes more difference. The time I took ended up saving more time than it cost. I covered around 1000 sq miles, and misplots could cost more than just a few minutes. Sometimes just tweaking the sequence was the only thing that made it possible. It should be impressed on EVERY driver to take the time to review his load and planned route. Unscanned packages are a different story, but if it is on the manifest, there's no excuse for having an unacceptable number of double-backs or packages that should be on another truck. Granted, I only had three drivers, but I personally reviewed each manifest to make sure the driver knew of any issues. I guess these days not every ISP has spent weeks or months driving each route, and can't be 100% familiar with issues that repeat time after time. [/QUOTE]
