[QUOTE="Bald1der, post: 1276390, member: 37334"] Orion makes sense for some of the rural/ pure residential trips. For mileage trips it can cut down on your mileage and take huge chunks out of the trip that you normally wouldn't think of. But, you have to be able to walk down the center aisle and grab those packages right away. For commercial, industrial, suburban trips, forget it. You can run a trip nowhere near the percentage, but match or beat the mileage. All that matters is your compliance percentage, even if you beat it by 20 miles the way you want to do it. You need to communicate with your dispatch office and the IE guy that does the Orion rides with you. Tell them the stops you need to hit early, where you have to start the trip every day, and the general flow. (Orion might think that making all LEFT turns at lights across 6 lane highways will save you mileage). The time study does not change with Orion. It tells you that will hit your first stop before you are on the clock and your last stop will be hit at 8:00pm every night, but you don't get paid like that. Just a little hint. If you wanna kill Orion you need to tell IE about a BS allowance, tell them that furthest possible house on your trip needs to be delivered with your airs. It will have you shoot over to that furthest point whether you have a stop there or not. [/QUOTE]
