[QUOTE="Steelheader, post: 174312, member: 1814"] PAS would work IF they let the drivers help setup the routes and IF they LISTEN to what the drivers said when they helped. We were asked our imput. We were told the more info you give, the better your route will be. I went in HUGE depth on how my route should run. How streets split (sequence range) etc..... Guess what? Took most of my imput and tossed it in the trash. When I got my initial reloop, I almost died laughing. Had my route running backwords, and had my resi's starting in an odd spot. When I asked why they did this, was because it would run all right hand turns and my last business stop would put me right into my resis. Here's the problem (which is why my route was run the way it was before PAS and why now it is STILL run that way after PAS), all my shelf 1,2, and 3 on their "PAS system" were all after 10am openings. So I had stuff on my first 3 shelves that I COULD NOT deliver until after I did shelves 4,5, and 6. LOL. Then the topper with my end of business/first of resi's. They had me starting on a street that didn't exist. They said "It's on the map, leads right into your first resi stop". Well, I informed them of this before they started the reloop, but this was a PROPOSED street about 30 years ago, but NEVER was put in. LOL. So they wanted me to barrel through a partial dirt road and trees to make my first resi stop everyday. They changed some of it, but not all of it. I've heard it said at our center that if they would've just refined each route we'd be alot better off. Problem is they literally relooped everything, and screwed up the center. We have about same amount of employees, if not more drivers now (maybe 1-2 extra a day). Then you have the stop counts, ouch.
