[QUOTE="mcsketcher, post: 5337931, member: 100214"] If you don’t know your next day’s route looking at a map to plan won’t help. If you are looking at the map on the diad, look at how you can make loops out of everything. I came from FedEx where we just got a list of stops and the map was so slow it was unusable. The diad map is really good. Break groups of stops up into loops and spirals, and build a bigger loop out of those small ones to end up where you need to be. I also don’t avoid backing as UPS teaches you to do. If I can’t loop a stop in I’ll hit it and back in to the driveway so I can return to my loop for the rest of the stops. Try not to back, but if you see a stop on the edge of a loop you’ve made, do it to keep from driving a whole separate street for that 1 or 2 stops. [/QUOTE]
