Is there a app that puts multidrop delivers in order. Thanks
My planner has an app that he thinks is brilliant. It’s called “youarescrewed”.
Basically it involves tossing the delivery note’s in the air and how they land is your route for the day.
If your only doing a few say upto 10 just put them all into Google maps…and you can see where they are and.alter them to what ever way you want
Try Circuit. Works great for me.
Our multi lists come as the shortest route.
I always check and often re-arrange them. A weight limit between two places could swing you past a third. If you know one is uphill, rather than down etc, then arriving from tother direction is easier. Looking at lunch breaks, who works late or quits early alters things too. Ill put in a few more miles to save time overall.
More of an art form than some realise!

If an agency driver rocks up to the depot and never done a route with about 30 drops or more and not familiar with the area , that is a pain to sort out the route unless the regular drivers ;help out or the manager or pointed shoe puts the delivery route in order .
The regular ones will know their run off by heart but your app is a good idea and go on dragon den for an investment opportunity and copyright it.
happy chrimbo Robert
in computer terms, this is the classic "Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) or Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP).
TSP is the challenge of finding the shortest yet most efficient route for a person to take given a list of specific destinations. It is a well-known algorithmic problem in the fields of computer science and operations research.
The problem can be solved by analyzing every round-trip route to determine the shortest one. However, as the number of destinations increases, the corresponding number of roundtrips surpasses the capabilities of even the fastest computers. With 10 destinations, there can be more than 300,000 roundtrip permutations and combinations. With 15 destinations, the number of possible routes could exceed 87 billion.

As mentioned above, you will find it hard to beat The Experience App, stored in the memory, and updated daily.
I’ve done exactly this many, many times in the past as an agency driver for several different companies. I’ve always taken the view that if the client can’t be bothered to shuffle things about so that I am given a realistically achievable round, and not just the one that the missing “Fred” usually does, then what happens, happens. Some of it may well be coming back, I may well be back very late and maybe not all of the collections will be done. I will do the best I can and approach it with a can do attitude, but agency drivers are not really best suited to this sort of work. I just followed the order it was loaded, looked at an A to Z and asked other drivers before I left where any industrial estates not shown might be.
To give an example of just how inept these companies’ planners can be, a 10 mile detour out of the obvious route; several drops from the end, to a hard to find premises, on a hard to find small industrial estate, in a full length artic, some 60 miles from base; to deliver … an A4 envelope.
Swithenbank’s drivers…
Flat out refused to do their runs backwards when the computer instructed the night shift to put everything on the opposite way to the norm.
i have a round i do once a week doing it the way they route it i drive past the 3rd and 4th drop twice a total of 147 miles and 4 hours 8 min according to google this morning. changing it round to somthing sencible so im not going back and forth is 112 miles and an hour quicker. luckily the first three stops on thier route dont have many cages so there is only 6 or 7 to move out the way so i can do the 4th drop first with out having to take them off the wagon. I did point out to them this week that i ask them to change it round for me every time and got told “we know” I did ask if it was routed that way for a reason them and was i not supposed to change it round and got told no it makes sence to change it round.
Or when a relief/ casual or agency driver covers for the regular driver on his or her day off , the customer says what took you so long as Sid is always early and the sun shines out of his back passage way and gets a cup of tea made for him dead on 16.00 when he is never late .
He is so regular like All Bran ,they put the kettle on at 15.57 daily without fail , good for you Sid .
