[QUOTE="scisector9, post: 1313780, member: 48365"] Yup. We are in the process of ORION here. I think about half or 2/3 of our 50 loops are optimized. I heard all the horror stories on these forums and sadly a lot of it is totally true. At my building we now have to have a personal conversation with the center manager if we are more than 5 miles over for the day. I am a cover driver, learned a route Tuesday, ran it by myself Wednesday, was 16 miles over and got grilled for why so many miles over? Really? I don't make excuses when not necessary but I just told my center manager "First time on route solo, it will improve." Craziness. Also, I know its beating a dead horse, but Orion breaks every rule I've been taught in my short driving career. Back only when necessary, "I'll pay you to drive around the block if you drive past your stop rather than backing unnecessarily", etc. Not to mention customer service and pick up times. On a trace I was on last week scheduled time in board was at 3:15, Orion had me getting there at 2:47. I went there a bit before 3 and shipper was all "Not ready yet, 3:10 or 3:15 is when we get picked up". Orion gives a 30 minute window now for pu compliance. I asked my on car i this was communicated to our customers, response: "Of course not". Orion is measured by stop, and your ability to do a complete 180 from said stop. Not possible. I left building today 20 minutes after start time, and by the time I reached first stop ORION had me having ten stops complete already. Needless to say, I ran straight air and then did my best. Fun. To be fair to those who don't have ORION at my building it is still "Do what you have to do to take care of customer. Safety, Service, Productivity." But it is still another metric for them to :censored: with us on. I don't think it will be going away anytime soon. On the positive, it eliminates some of my stress as a cover driver. Just follow Orion completely and hope for the best. If it falls apart "hey just doing my job". According to a supe ORION will be the largest most accurate mapping system in the United States when all buildings are optimized. "Worth millions and millions they tell me." So, if nothing else, if it doesn't work as promised, UPS can sell it to google or our competitors in the industry and recoop all their losses. Cheers [/QUOTE]
