FedEx GT:
Thank you for your insight and sharing your experience. I appreciate it.
But if the daily inbound review took into account the business closure times for your work area, could this be emailed to FedEx flex guy indicating the "Closure" deliveries so these don't get loaded on the truck?
I agree. This is a more difficult problem given the delivery and pickup window time constraints imposed on Ground deliveries. Not an issue with HD though.
Yes I considered the tracking software. Pricey and not integrated.
Good to know that latest data for your work area deliveries is available on MyGroundBiz.

There isn't much you are going to do to limit codes. You can always call ahead or you can beat it in to the driver to pay attention to closure notes and relay them to the terminal (even with that only a 30% chance the hub won't still load it).

A combination of a well trained driver and the maps can be very beneficial but the largest problem is time constraints and business hours. Regardless of how well you optimize a route if there are businesses closed at the beginning of the day you are going to be backtracking.

There is tracking software but it is expensive and I would say not worth an investment. Other than that you can see on Mygroundbiz what pickups are done, how many stops are done, and where the drivers last stop was.
