Yeah, manual probing feels so slow once you see the automated way. Stuck with the old method for ages because the setup seemed like a hassle. Then you actually try it and realize you've been wasting hours each week on something that takes minutes. Made the switch last month and it's just... different. My work day actually ends on time now, which never happened before. That old routine just couldn't keep up.
Jade, that "stuck with the old method" part hits home. I was the same way with paper maps for planning moves, convinced my big atlas was better. Refused to use route apps for years, saying they wouldn't know the truck restrictions. Finally tried one and cut an hour off a cross-town job the first day. Felt pretty dumb for all the time I'd wasted.
Actually, the setup for automated probing isn't always a huge hassle. Some of the newer tools are pretty plug-and-play. I get the hesitation, but a quick YouTube tutorial got me going in maybe twenty minutes. The real time sink was just getting over that initial mental block.
