Contact Circuit Route Planner Support

by Freddie Feliciano

I deliver for FedEx and I tried this today because the terminal I work out of doesn’t upload to GroundCloud or road warrior. It was great for typing in addresses because it brought up the correct addresses with minimal input. But when I was doing the route it had me jumping back and forth. I was stopped at a stop and I had a stop next door but it kept sending me to another development first. When I hit re optimize it sent me to another stop and placed the stop next door further down the list to come back there when I was next door already. So this defeated the whole purpose of using the app. I might as well used the FedEx scanner’s gps which all FedEx drivers know is useless. Back to testing other route planning apps.

I used this app for almost two years for my delivery driving 5 days per week. I would have upwards of 250 deliveries per month. This app has seen many updates and changes, most for the better, and that’s why I’m giving it any credit, really. As for the app itself, I’m sad to say I no longer can pay $6 per month to make my deliveries. They are now charging $11 for the same service that a different app will get you with a cap of 200 stops. Very disappointed and upset because I liked how quick the interface works, even though with many options it simply doesn’t. For example, gas savings calculations, finding fastest routes, end stop Arrival time (I always beat it anywhere between an hour or 30 minutes before it said I would finish), and once in a while incorrect addresses (when I tap on a Southeast location, it’ll put down southwest and refuses to put the southeast no matter what I try). Overall it was great while it lasted but I’m not going to pay an EXTRA $5 per month for an already overpriced system without unlimited stops...

I’m a driver for Fed Ex and overall my experience with using circuit has been good. I feel it truly helped me get to know my two routes that I do and makes a route that actually makes sense and allows me to be more efficient. My only two issues I have are the following:
1. Has days where it takes forever to enter stops - I feel this isn’t entirely on the app and might be a network issue, but I have days where it takes a few seconds to load a stop and days where I had trouble getting 1 stop entered (3-5 min to load). I would have to move around my truck until the signal was able to help load the stop I was looking for. I’ve used other apps with the same type of network and had 0 issues loading stops.
2. Reoptimising the route sometimes messes up the flow - I can remember there were a few times where I had to repotimise my route and it had me leave a neighbourhood where I was delivering to go and do two stops and then had me come back. In that situation you just have to outsmart the app when it does that.
Overall I say the app is worth using if you’re a delivery driver because it will cut down time on your route along with a good pace you put into it.
