[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1473536, member: 14668"] My ORION printout for last Wednesday showed me doing [I]the final 28 stops[/I] [I]of my route at 11:59 PM[/I]. No joke. 28 stops....an average of about 3/4 of a mile apart from each other....probably 2 [I]hours[/I] worth of work....all scheduled for delivery in the [B]60 seconds[/B] between 11:59 and midnight. Leaving aside for a moment the fact that working until 11:59 PM would be an automatic DOT hours-of-service violation..... even if it [I]were [/I]somehow physically possible for me to deliver 28 extended rural stops in 60 seconds, my truck lacks the fuel capacity to follow the "trace" that ORION in its infinite wisdom had drawn up for me. Fortunately, I was able to turn ORION off and by using good old-fashioned common sense I got those stops off by 8:15 and beat the projected mileage as well. ORION sucks. During peak, it sucks even worse. Rant over. [/QUOTE]
