[QUOTE="soberups, post: 2038400, member: 14668"] There is a housing development in my town that was on my old route the whole time it was under construction. I actually wrote the original delivery trace for it myself, taking into account the location of cul-de-sacs and flareouts in the streets, and by following that trace exactly a driver could deliver to every house on every street in the development without [I]ever[/I] having to back up. I was quite proud of that trace and when I delivered there I could easily bang off 40 or 50 stops with zero backs. Then ORION came along, and in the interest of saving 241 feet my awesome trace got mangled into an abomination that forces the driver to back into residential driveways every 3 or 4 stops in order to get turned around. So when I hear about the importance of reducing backs its a little tough to take them seriously. [/QUOTE]
