[QUOTE="ArcherUTR, post: 1329079, member: 53175"] There I said it. Just trying to stir the pot a little. At first I couldn't understand the Telemetics charts. Then over time, it wasn't so intense. Maybe they turned off/tuned out a few metrics. But since then...I wear my seat belt, I am very conscious of my backing, and I close my bulkhead door. In regards to ORION, I'm in big city service road area. I think this helps since my businesses are one-way. Yes, ORION get's way too cute. It will spend five minutes to save 20tft. It has no regard for customer service, safety, lunch, pickup variability, magic u-turns, or old people having five minute conversations. However, I am much more aware of my miles. Miles save on gasoline. I would at times in the past try to push myself farther away from my pickups or secretly enjoy when the center sent me instructions to run a lengthy misload. Not so much anymore. I try to keep my variance under 8 miles and above 90%. Then they pretty much have no need to talk to me before or after work. It is pretty easy for me to put ORION back together and still do it my way and be over 90% compliance. [/QUOTE]
