UPS and FedEx try every tech trick to speed up deliveries

2015-11-08 06:35:50| Trucking - Topix.net

Around 8 a.m. at a cavernous warehouse in Butler County recently, about four dozen delivery drivers for United Parcel Service got their first look at the scheduled drop-offs for the day. Prepping for roughly 9-hour shifts with anywhere from 50 to 150 stops, it could have been - and, until recently, was - a daunting start, as drivers had to calculate how best to juggle the day's load while negotiating Pittsburgh-area traffic snarls such as bridges, tunnels and sudden road closures.
