The route stops change from day to day. On my old route one day 155 would be red and the next 170 would not be. Not sure if that is the same system and this thread is over a year old so i did not go and reread everything that was posted.
Red,
What you say is true, but the preload does not have any control over it.
Here is how it works:
In DPS (the planning system) they dispatch work to your car. The dispatch is based on history.
In DPS, they put in a target dispatch for you, as well as a range for min / max. For instance, they may say 9.15 hours target +- .2. That means your acceptable range is between 8.95 and 9.35.
Based on where the stops fell in history and your pickup route, they calculate how many delivery stops would make up 8.95 and 9.35 hours. Its important to note that the target is PAID day, not PLANNED day.
The target stops for min and max (as well as the number of air stops planned) is sent to the preload system (DMS).
Because the planning system can have different history on different days and because they may have a different target for you in the plan, the preload can see a different number for min/max stops.
I am not aware that this can be changed in the preload. Only in the planning system.
