TruckStops usually uses the full postcode (for example OX14 1PQ) to place each call point on the map with X,Y coordinates. There are lots of different approaches to choose from including using GPS signals.
Sometimes the location is itself a vehicle as in the case of Robert Wiseman Dairies who use "reload" vehicles - maximum-capacity artics that are stationed at strategic bases throughout the country, and serve as mobile collection points. Locally-based rigids deliver milk either direct to factories, or to reload artics making longer distances more efficient. |
| TruckStops vehicle routing and scheduling system is extremely flexible and enables the user to add details such as a note for the driver ‘Leave delivery with No 12’ or 'use the back entrance off Newton Road'. |
