[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 361105, member: 4653"] I agree with New Englander that the benefits of PAS far outweigh the problems. What gets me going is the fact that most of the negatives can be fixed with a little bit of effort from the driver and the dispatch sup. I have done routes that were meticuosly planned out in EDD. You can literally do it stop for stop according to EDD and this will be the most efficent way to run the route. This one route I've done amazed me on how well the trace was done. All you would need is a map and then follow the DIAD and you could run this route blind with no problems. I have also seen the other side of the spectrum where if you followed the trace you would be working 13 hours that day and the driver or his dispatch sup. won't fix it. Our newhire is in a tough spot. He's given the concept of PAS/EDD then doens't underdstand why the routes are not set up stop for stop. This is a great question on his part because he went to "UPS class" for 2 weeks where I'm sure they told him how great EDD is. Now, where he gets to the real world he is confused because his center manager tells him not to run it by trace. He is thinking (I'm sure), why not just fix the EDD so you can run it on trace? This is where EDD would be most helpful, for someone who doesn't know the entire area, but that goes out the window because the newhire is told to break trace and do it the most logical way. Thats fine, but he is new and doesn't know the most logical way YET. He's probably asking (and I am too) 'Why not just put it in the DIAD the most logical way so everyone benefits?'. I would really love an answer to this question myself! [/QUOTE]
