i'm still seeing the Ground guys in my local area using laminated maps with dry-erase markers to put dots on those maps...
Slowly. Last week they finally started downloading the manifest into the scanner. No maps or "turn by turns", but helpful especially if the load chart is well sorted out.bbsam stated in another thread that it was rolling out in the middle of July at his terminal... wonders how it's going over there
It hasn't rolled out to all terminals. And we probably won't get it. We are just going to be getting e-manifests from what I've been told. Basically the scanner just shows the addresses and how many boxes for each stop. The same thing we all ready get a print out of.
I don't know how many times I can point this out, but it's just a tool. Personally, I would probably rarely even use such a program since I have quite a bit of route knowledge. It's always been a pet peeve of mine when HD drivers are so dependent on turn-by-turn directions that they never seem to learn an area. It's all logical if one allows repitition to teach.
Yeah. That won't happpen, but will get them there in as matter of days rather than weeks.
