it cant get any worse. I dont want to work 11s every day. And I dont care how much I can make. Somedays you just need to get done and go home. And today it was worse. Ps I didnt call or text anyone, I just got the job done.
New day for Orion
- Thread starter Mr.Golden
- Start date
And isnt that the same every day, I show them its screwed, they tell me to try to keep miles down and not follow it, and I have it on paper, to protect myself since they are pushing it here. It can be fine one day, and the next cannot possibly be done. It is giving me 5 mile pulls for no good reason. Nothing else near it being delivered. I know its stupid anyway, trust me I know, but some days I think it is just designed to destroy me.

Not a sprinter van. A 24ft straight job with 500-600 packages. Most of them over 30 lbs each.

Oh hell no you will not see me hopping in and out a 24 footer. I did a mall rt with that many pkgs, the truck and 3 tp60s slap full.

Not all that bad. At least in my building. All dock stops. Not chasing NDA or delivering resi's. Almost like being in Feeders. I covered a straight truck route one summer when the regular driver was out with medical issues.

Did your 24footer have a/c and a lift gate like ours?

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Probably because you don't work here.

Hmmm it doesn't seem to bad. When I think about it I compare it to when they put me in Ryder truck during peak season. It feels so weird deliver out of those. I have to step up and put my butt in first instead of my foot. Enjoyed the radio though

It gets more "aggressive" when they have you more spread out. The higher the projected miles the more ridiculous it will act.

Especially interesting because peak starts mid October now.Wonder if that fact was thrown in when they were selling this idea to the shareowners

I don't want to say this but I run Orion 100% everyday no matter what , but the last few days I have been beating Orion miles by at least 5 miles
I don't know why yet I have change the way I look at it , I will look 3 or so stops ahead and run it a way that makes sense to me and not the way Orion wants
I know I will have to be careful not to draw attention , but I haven't figure it out yet
