[QUOTE="paganpink, post: 100311, member: 5419"] The main difference in most centers is that the stop counts are much more accurate. It is sometimes worth its weight in gold to know how many pieces you have at a certain stop, too, because you know if you're missing one or two packages due to a preloader losing their mind and loading them in different sections. Most big centers have been on loop dispatch for years so the area trace- the order that your stops are loaded in- shouldn't hardly change at all. If your center is so small that they are behind in "looping" it you might find it affecting you more than most, but since you're running a lot of routes I doubt that even relooping your center will change your area much. The Preload needed all the "assist" they could get in our building so it was pretty much all good except for off area misloads at first. The preloaders don't need to memorize their sequence numbers anymore so it is much easier to train new people, and coverage loaders, and the loads are more consistent between one preloader and another now. That's because there were a lot of "custom" loads that the preload used to do (at drivers requests) that were often times kinda goofy after months or years of changing the load from the original area trace to what different drivers just preferred. I have covered areas that had been loaded backwards so the regular driver could end up at a spot on his area so he could eat at a certain place, etc. It was a worse way to run that route than it was supposed to be, but he liked it because of a girl that worked there!
