[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 166314, member: 4653"] Here is what I obsevred to be 2 major problems with PAS. The preloader not knowing any actual address in his pull. Heck, in theory he should even know what town his trucks are in(just needs to look at the HIN's). And pissing our customers off. I understand the desire to re-loop and reduce miles (this is questionable in itself if that has happened) I don't know if this could be done in practice (I don't get paid to make decisions), so I'll just throw this out there. How about starting PAS with the old loop first and then work from there? What I'm saying is, keep the routes as they were, implement the PAS system and the make changes from there to the routes. That way we're not pissing off all these customers all at once that were getting their delivery at 1045 and now are getting it at 3 pm. This was a huge issue with the routes. I was a cover driver when we went on PAS(so I saw many routes) and there would be businesses loaded in section 8000 in almost all of them. Why? Becuase to re-loop and reduce miles, certain businesses would have to left at the end of the trace to meet the goal of reduced miles. When we started PAS 3 years ago everything was friend-ed Up. Things are better now, because we basically went back to the old loops. So instead of going through all this crap, why not implement this 1 step at a time instead of just opening the flood gates and see what happens? PAS is a great tool. I would never want to go back to the old system of delivering packages. It really is great to not have to sort your truck and if you have a good preloader it cuts down on your selection time greatly. Its just the pissing off of customers that I'm concered about. [/QUOTE]
