New Ideas/Technology = More Money In My Pocket

Not in a bonus center.

Usually there aren't many ways to beat the projected miles,(if you follow Orion stop for stop) but if you do this efficiency usually shows you late on paper.

...or we could do the right thing and deliver within their posted hours...

Between 4-5pm (5pm is latest we are suppose to be delivering businesses) isn't acceptable. They are more than welcome to pick up their packages at the hub if they aren't available during normal business hours, M-friend. Curious, if a business is only open on weekends and they get packages during the week, how would you handle that situation? Better yet, if it's a Karate place like most of us have around here, hours are sporadic, do you just keep coming back whenever you feel like it? If customers aren't going to be at their place of business to receive packages during normal business hours, this isn't the delivery services problem, it's theirs.

I have been on Orion for about a month, beat the miles on a daily basis and still run an hour under.

It's a restaurant that opens at 4. The staff arrive at noon, thereabouts. it's a 10am stop on trace so I am 2 hrs and 10 miles away at noon...farther if I wait until mid afternoon to go back.

btw the cooks are there at 10 but the owners won't let them sign for packages.

Can you deliver them after 4pm when you do a p/up in this area?

That's really good to hear that the BOG is doing so well with the ORION system, back here in reality, this isn't the case with most drivers.

What are some of the ways you are able to beat the miles? and what is your trace percentage?

Did I mention that I run 80-85% trace?

No, but you mention you don't follow the methods.

My Orion team member told me I should think of Orion as a tool and that I should not follow it stop for stop.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

No, but you mention you don't follow the methods.

I never said that.

 

[Jackburton]

I never said that.

Stating you work off the clock, speeding is acceptable, and having sups leave misloads at your personal residence isn't what I was taught.

Yes.

Never in a pkg car.

Work smarter, not harder.

So, are you going to answer the first question I asked you? I know you can get your percentage up to 85%.

 

[Jackburton]

I'll refer to my first quote.

To be honest I don't even look at the Orion plan. I run the route the way that I have for years with a few small changes suggested by Orion.

If I really focused on it I could easily get it up to 90%.

80-85% works for me.

I'm trying to figure out how you run under the miles every day. Maybe you hold some resi and they are saving you miles on the way in?

Orion has me going back and forth between residential areas. I deliver all of the stops while in each area.

Then you are cheating, some way, 1 hr under went away along time ago

Good to see the system is flawed, producing a false positive helps no one.

I find this amusing coming from a "reformed" runner/gunner.
