Success (or failure) on EDD depends a great deal in how much prep work went in to setting up the run when the PAS/EDD team is in your center. I spent a lot of time on mine and, as such, it is 95% where it should be. Others that did not invest the time are struggling.
When the PAS/EDD team was in our center the only time we were able to give any input for the routes was at the end of the day (off the clock of course) and it just wasn't enough. They were set up in an office and all of us would try and go in and put show them how the routes should be traced. It didn't work out because there was a continuous stream of drivers coming in and it was always chaotic and no one wanted to stay over after work for 30 minutes to an hour waiting on their turn. Plus, those that were able to get some time in with the team found out later that they didn't even listen to the drivers half the time. We've been trying to get our dispatch sup to make changes since but when we come in each morning he always busy moving stuff around and stressing over making routes plan.
Despite all that I'm happy with EDD but there are frustrating days like I mentioned before where there are 30 stops with the same sequence number. Or an entire section assigned to the 7000 section that should be in the 1000 section. Commercial stops in the 8000 section. Still.....it beats the old way any day. At worst it's like having all the stops prerecorded and out of order.
