[QUOTE="JJinVA, post: 4591060, member: 80301"] Yeah. Its funny listening to the old timers bitchin at us about how "back in MY day, we had a safe and cash CODs!! And had to use a pen, IN THE RAIN, ON PAPER!" Which, yeah, that was doable when the volume was 65 to 70 stops a day. I bet even they would struggle with 215 using old school methods. But I do try not to rely on MapNav the more I do this so I can learn the areas when Im on routes that I dont usually run. The other day I surprised myself when I came around a corner and knew the names of the streets, the color of the mail boxes matched with the addresses. Simple stuff to remind me where Im at. And running the shelf numbers isnt always the most effiecient way when youre on a split route. I know Ive had things on my 1000 shelf that were for two different routes. All I can assume is, the dispatcher was lazy and just kept the same PAL numbers as if they were on their own respective routes, but they were 5 miles apart [/QUOTE]
