[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1293838, member: 17969"] Big arrow, one of the biggest problems with "bonus" is that some centers exploit the values of some areas by simply applying a default value to them. For example, lets say you have a trailer park to deliver to. EDD/PAS/ORION will only recognize the single address of the park and ignore the units. So, if you have 17 stops in that park, ORION will only see 1 stop with 17 pieces. The valuation of those stops then becomes 1 stop and 3 minutes. Hardly fair of course or practical, so, the center then goes into the program and changes the way Orion calculates the value and they "assign" a time value that is the average time it takes you to deliver the park. So, lets say they make it 30 minutes to cover both heavy and light days. Then on light days, lets say 3 stops, you will still get the 30 minute credit. The same goes for hospitals or doctor offices in buildings with one address. The center team will give an allowance of 1 stop credit for every piece/package. So, lets say you had 40 pieces for 3 doctor offices, ORION will value that as a 40 stop credit. I know it sounds ridiculous, buts its true. Just talk to your PDS about it. Bonus drivers who are making bonus while others are going in the hole most likely have stops like these. Until they figure out a way for the software to separate units/suites/apartments and value them separately, this will be the way the center team values them. You can then see why some drivers lose their minds when one of these sections are removed from their routes. TOS. [/QUOTE]
