50 miles

I would think it would have to be 250 miles or more.

You honestly have no clue so why act like you do?

Last week Orion had me delivering a single air package to an address as my first stop at 8:45 and then returning at 4:45 to deliver the other 223 packages for that address.

You can't make this stuff up

Please tell us you did the right thing by delivering them all at the same time.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I see it all the time. Especially in the country will routes that have pick up stops all over the place. Orion calculated those miles, while the driver may not even need to make the drive.

Orion cannot account for drivers who take the shortcut of calling their pickup customers.

224 parcels for one stop? Takes me close to two days to peddle that many parcels!

There are days when the college mail room on my area will have between 150-200 packages.

Because he knows it all.

Your thinking would be incorrect. I have beaten ORION by 40 miles, where it said I should be at 160 and I got it done in 120.

I average 50 miles of driving per day on my route so I find it very hard to believe that you could beat the Orion projection by 50 (or 60) miles.

And you deliver snow cones and cupcakes. I bet you have scented candles on your dash board.

 

[El Correcto]

I never beat orion anymore. They always cram businesses on a country route split between two cities forcing me to break to not miss.

We have one route that, on a bad day, can hit 300 miles.

We have several over 200 mile routes.

I've only been back 5 working days and pretty much completely ignored Orion but I bet it by 10-15 miles daily. The one day it projected me at 104 miles and I ran 88.

Sounds like you're close to the building. My route averages around 160.

There are routes in my center that average 250. Those drivers, given their area knowledge could, absolutely beat their mileage projection by 50 or 60 miles.

My first stop (Walmart) is 2 miles away.

My first stop (Walmart) is 2 miles away.

They say there is a Walmart within 15 miles of almost everyone's home in America.

It would be interesting to find out if they kept track how often drivers beat Orion on miles and (if) anyone fwds that info to the necessary decision makers.

I think they do , I remember when Orion first came it said I should do my route in 124 miles beat it all the time

2nd update said I should do it in 115 miles beat it or real close

3rd update now it says I should do my route in about 105 miles never beat it and my route hasn't change in 6 years

It's learning from you.

I said that to my sup and we know what his response was

 

[brownmonster]

I run 200 plus miles every day. I can beat Orion by a few miles now and again.

My projected miles were in the 270's and i finished with 224.

 

[Scottyhawk]

My route fluctuates up and down 15 miles on a daily basis and my route area does not change. Cannot ever beat the miles because I either have to run misloads, meet drivers to get misloads or have to meet drivers to get the pu pieces
