If you need ROADS to deliver a route you're doing it wrong. Maps,phone,garmin any of those with a quick glance could of told you which stop was close to any other stop you had

Probably right. I have a spiral map book of the whole area that I used to carry. I’m going to start carrying it again. It’s pretty pathetic to rely on ROADS.

And 10 minutes in the station with a map book or a routing app on your phone would have saved you time and lates.

Even better, brevity is the soul of wit.
As for cactus, I could point out that the weather here is nice today and he'd respond that it isn't. He responds just to respond, kind of like a kid.

What's with the ROADS chatter?
Doesn't express/airmail drivers have their own thread?
Fedex Express Peak 2017
On my local HD side, that snowstorm Benji knocked out a few drivers with accidents... most had no injuries but one.
A ground driver is using road warrior app ($5/month) so he can see his stops for the day, like a typical HD drivers Garmin GPS unit. Bad thing is they're reliable if there's a cellphone tower in your area for the app to work like waze?
it sucked balls on my route, power went out in the town centre, but wif area knowledge, I can knock out those stop OP s wif no stress.
got done by 1915 Saturday night, the commute home at 19 miles took an hour due to bad road conditions - sleet on top of melting snow & temps dropping below freezing ~ saw 5 accidents on that commute home
Everything melting away in time for Monday's mess

Neither of the 2 threads for peak are actually talking about peak.
It's all the same derailment/fighting as every thread in this forum gets
Cactus
Just telling it like it is
Then why must you keep rambling on this forum and talking in circles?
First of all, that's Mr. Cactus to you. Secondly if you're talking about the weather and it's nice, so be it. The problem is all the BS of yours that you sadly believe makes everything else you say doubtful.
By the way, how's "Thunder" these days?

Hey? I’m sure I talked about peak.
Btw, what’s a good routing app for iPhone?

Route4Me is the one I have. I've only used it once. It was free up to a certain number of uses not sure what it is now.

If it was meant for you to understand it, you would be equipped to understand it. :::headpat:::
I don't know, why don't you ask him?

If you have the maps dotted, Road warrior will continue to work in and out of coverage. Road warrior doesn't actually do the live turn by turn, it hands that off to google maps or the GPS app of your choice. However, when you ask it to optimize, it will draw a line on its map to show how it thought how you should drive it.
Like I've said in the past, I use it for a map dotter and that's it. I make sure what I need help with is in it before I get out of coverage.

And why is a monday p1 a worry on sunday?
"I had no idea which of my stops were remotely near one another." How long have you been working at that station? I'd keep that information to myself until it became obvious.

He was working on Saturday and they were trying to get everything out of the building. The company built a generation of couriers that can't deliver in-town without ROADs... I remember awhile back when ROADs went totally down and all the couriers went into "friend the company mode"... nothing at all was theirs.

In all fairness I believe he is a normally a part time pickup driver. He may not have the route knowledge of regular full time couriers.

I had a trainee for my straight truck route
14 delivery stops
6 pickups
All within 5 miles from HQ
He lasted 4 days, as I told him You will not need a GPS. And he was quite possibly the stupidest son of a b I’ve ever trained.
The last pick up was roughly 500 feet from the terminal and he couldn’t navigate himself back without the GPS

Then kiss my ass instead.
Understanding it is not the issue, believing your own BS is the problem.
You are him and your futile attempt to set up a mock account. I guess it's easier to say you forgot.
