Fleet-Net Fast Cut is a versatile product that processes the Public Schedules Timetables database into vehicle blocks and operator run assignments.

The Fast Cut module is intended to save time in drafting assigned runs, vehicle blocks, driver’s manifest, and bus assignments. Vehicle usage is optimized through automatic blocking. Routes may be interlined for vehicle assignments. Runs may be cut automatically or manually. Straight runs, split runs, or multi-piece runs can be easily managed. User-specified set-up parameters make Fast Cut user-friendly.

Fast Cut generates statistical reports such as Miles per Route, Hours per Route, and Vehicles per Route. Another informative report is the Sign-Up Variance Report (found under the Operator Timekeeping application) which compares the pay hours between two sign-ups.
