[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 3210656, member: 60252"] A little more creative????? City drivers don't have a clue. You ever run across mapquest telling you to drive down a hiking trail?? I had two rural roads leading off the same highway.. Both ended up about 15-20 miles off the highway and only about 1/4 mile apart separated by a ridgeline. I got out of my van and looked across and though about walking but was worried about getting shot or chased by a bear. Mapqwest had them as connected, but in reality they were at least a 45 minute drive apart. Trying to get a sub driver on a route like that meant that I had to look over every delivery before sending anyone out, day or night. If I wanted a day off, or vacation, I had to go over, by phone, the entire route with the driver.
