[QUOTE="dysphunktion, post: 4266287, member: 73894"] [B]STORY TIME![/B] I have two drivers that love to come in a little early to BS before hell begins. I usually get to hear about the really "wtf" things Orion has them do. I usually just nod and tell them that it should be fixed with the next update, etc. So I had to go help a PDS at another center and what do you know, that same driver was due for his ride along! Shucks! :P So I get an on road to come do it and the driver showed him some of the funky orion adventures. On road tells him that he'll work on it for him if I can't get to it. Well pump those brakes Mr On Road, you will do no such :censored:ing thing. [I]I'll[/I] handle this. So anyway, I let the driver know that I really could have fixed it not long after we initially got it. BUT, the way the route is now, with a reasonable amount of over allowed, he averages 9.5+ hours, every day. But if I go and fix it, guess what? I'll have to add quite a few more stops to make up for the optimization it does. I've already tried it. It knocks nearly 2 hours out and we hover too close to a flat 8. So I hear ya man. I'd love to be able to do this for all my drivers but alas, I [I]am[/I] still management and the numbers are the numbers. But in the end, my drivers are happy and not dreading this peak so win win.
