[QUOTE="Undertow, post: 5640930, member: 4550"] I remember being sent out blind nearly every day upon returning back to work after two weeks on strike in August of '97. It was an experience for sure. I didn't find the resis all that hard especially if they had coordinates on the address label, but the office buildings with 4 floors really had nuances that couldn't be known until attempting the stops inside. From my experiences with the latest DIAD, I've found on occasion it's handy if having to cover a pickup far off my beat as many times it will pinpoint the exact P/U point even if that account's property consists of 6 different buildings. That actually does save some time. Newer trucks? Definitely better cab and cargo lighting than past generations but often not quite as good of a turning radius. Most every newer make seems to be about a half a foot narrower than prior stuff. That definitely was an adjustment to make when on routes with lots of retail biz. [/QUOTE]
