[QUOTE="landrick, post: 89903, member: 4821"] That really does suck... As a utility driver, I get a chance to see how well EDD performs on several different routes where I work. Sometimes the route is laid out so well you could do it in your sleep. At other times...it's nothing less than stupid, running you all over the place in what seems like the most INefficient way possible. That means that when I take out a new route, I don't know whether to trust the EDD or not, so I waste time trying to second-guess it to figure out if it's going to help me or kill me. It's too bad to hear that you're *trying* to get your EDD data improved, and getting no response. In my situation, I see a lot of the opposite...management (well, at least my supe) is willing to dig in and edit the routes so that they work right, but there's little feedback from the drivers on what needs to be changed. The regular route drivers know how they run their routes, so they basically ignore EDD and just do it they way they've always done it...which, of course, defeats the whole idea of making it easier for someone else to do the job when they're out. EDD will never live up to its potential unless two things happen: (1) The drivers provided detailed feedback about what works and what needs to be changed, and (2) management takes that information and does something about it.
