[QUOTE="ups_vette, post: 57019"] In Sept 1992 I was sent on Special Assignment to France. UPS had aquired a French Delivery Company, Prost Transport. Prost was primarly a freight company, covering the entire country with over 50 terminals. The drivers used large straight body vans for delivery, since the majority of the volume was either palletized, or large heavy cartons. It was a loading dock operation simular to the freight operations here at home, with one exception. When the freight was picked up, that night all the information pertaining to each shipment was key entered at each terminal into a central computer system. The system would sort the shipments by destination terminal and by delivery route in that terminal. When the freight arrived early in the morning the delivery terminal already had what shipments were arriving, sorted by delivery area. The unloaders would place the freight for the drivers in specific areas on the dock for the driver to load. The driver would be given a printout of his (no female drivers) deliveries. for the day. He would then check his list as he loaded the freight in delivery order to insure he had all deliveries planned for that day. When the driver left the terminal he had a printout of all his deliveries, as did the management team in that terminal. The French developed this system in the early 80s and called it E10. UPS developed a simular system in the early 90s and called it PAS and EDD [/QUOTE]
