[QUOTE="Star B, post: 2748405, member: 61246"] It is also a problem of scale. If you think micro, like your station... "Oh, that should be EAAAASY". Adjust your viewpoint and zoom out. What you will see is the massive amount of transactions that take place per second and trying to keep everything synchronized is a challenge. There is also the challenge of offline powerpads, cellular blackholes, and the programming of the PPAD itself. The delivery/pup part of the powerpad isn't a live system. It is a batch system with quick transmit times. That allows it to float in and out of cellular coverage without causing too much headache for the driver. Now... dispatch is a live system and anyone who works out in the sticks knows of the pain trying to clear in a marginal signal area. Look, they can't get address standardization working well at Express. Once they figure out how to make ROADS extract apartment/office suite numbers reliably, let's give them something else to chew on. [/QUOTE]
