[QUOTE="PoirotAtUPS, post: 5850562, member: 104493"] He provides a good answer - to expand on the current reality for context. UPS dispatch is currently managed at a Center level - this is a major headache for corporate as they are cutting people as fast as they can. Literally every delivery / pick up must be planned by time of day and sequenced in each Center by a member of management. Too many newbies don't understand this - every single address that is possible for a delivery/pick up must be sequenced and manually mapped to a loop. Then every volume level must be planned as decreases/increases occur. The reality is most centers have 3 or 4 scenarios planned - that's it. Unfortunately there are no contractual guarantees around any of this - drivers have to bid for whatever number of routes/loops management offers up. Keep in mind this is all before the :censored: that occurs when each route gets "optimized" by ORION. Coming soon - ATL figures out how to use AI to truly :censored: this up. [/QUOTE]
