I’ve been thinking about how crucial route optimization is in our field… Recently, we started using a new software that considers traffic patterns and weather conditions, and it has really cut down on delays. I’d love to hear what tools or strategies you all are using to keep on schedule.
I’ve been using a similar route planning app, but sometimes it feels like I’m just taking the scenic route instead of the most efficient one! Maybe it’s worth double-checking those suggested paths against a map — makes all the difference. What’s your software of choice?
, I get so frustrated with route apps sometimes too — just the other week, I ended up taking a longer route because the weather feature didn’t show a lane closure. I’ve been using an app that allows me to save different routes for recurring deliveries, which helps a ton.
I’ve found that using Google Maps along with Waze has helped me avoid a lot of unexpected delays. The traffic updates from Waze are more real-time and really keep me on my toes, especially when weather conditions come into play. Have you tried that combo?
