Hi Jim,

I'll try and answer your questions in order.

First, is this for car-orders going to local customers? 

Yes. 

Second, when you open your list of cars, and then click on the "Dest" column header, and you scroll down, are there particular customers that are repeated a lot?

Yes.  And I understand that.  I check for the current location of those cars when I look at how many are enroute to the customer.  This is normally not a problem.  I expect to see multiple car orders enroute to a customer, especially one that gets 3 or so cars per day.

My problem is with car orders assigned to trains in staging. 

An Example:

I have over a dozen cars assigned to LCL service that come into Gresham from various staging yards and are delivered to the LCL Freight House each day.     

There is only one carorder for each waybill each day.

My problem is that multiple car orders for the same waybill are being assigned to cars in trains is staging.

At the start of this new session, I looked at the cars ONLY in staging and found the following:

WB#711 was assigned to 2 cars in one train and 1 car in each of the other 2 trains for a total of 4 cars instead of 1. 

Additionally, WB's 717 and 714 was assigned to 3 different cars, and WB's#255, 705 and 708 were each assigned to 2 different cars.

This made a total of 10 cars going to the LCL Freight House from various staging yards this day instead of only 5. 

You can see how a few sessions like this will build up a backlog of cars trying to be delivered to the Freight House.

My initial question was if it would be possible to limit ProTrak to assigning only the amount of carorders that are scheduled and not allow duplicates being assigned in staging.

Thanks also, I've changed the "Predictive Routing" and will see how that works.

Thanks, Andy
