[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1314474, member: 50088"] To answer the first question, regular EDD delivery order is still viewable on the board but you are to use the new "optimized delivery order" (Orion). EDD is essentially a linear delivery order. So streets are loaded in the board in the same order everyday. With Orion, an enormous amount of calculations are made each morning for the specific stops for that day and produces a "solution" for the day. It attempts to reduce mileage as much as possible. The biggest way it solves this is by having you only drive streets partially instead of driving the length of each street. This of course involves turning around in driveways all day. Example scenario: Two side streets run parallel off a main road. You have 2 stops on each and they all happen to be numbered on the low end. In the old days, you would enter street A and deliver house 4 & 8 and finish the street if it led to street B on the other end (going around the block). In this example street B has stops at 2 & 7 on the same end as A. What Orion wants you to do is to only drive up to #8 on street A and turn around and proceed to street B and go up to #7 and turn around again because your next stop is likely in the other direction again. But anyway, the solution was to cut out the unnecessary high ends of the streets with no stops. Efficient but breaks established UPS rules. [/QUOTE]
