[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1522313, member: 198"] ORION has veteran drivers feeling lost in neighborhoods that they've been delivering in for years. Many routes are impossible to "beat" on miles because they contain large and complex residential areas and/or the same for commercial that can be ran many different ways. Shaving miles in these areas (with ORION) would require [U]ALLOT[/U] of turning around in driveways and driving up streets in the opposite directions that drivers have been driving for years. Even decades. But they have no idea where to go next in order to match the ORION plan. The only ways for a driver to know which way to go and turn like ORION wants is to have the same tablet issued to us that the ORION people have with them when they first come out and ride along. Or....we can use our own personal devices such as smart phones or data enabled tablets. Or even stop and send a message to the center asking for detailed instructions that tell us where to go next. I refuse to use my own device in the same manner as the ORION teams used theirs and the latter option would be a disaster for both the driver and the OMS back at the center. So.....I say screw ORION. It just isn't worth it. For lots of reasons. UPS just needs to quit while they are ahead and admit that ORION is an epic failure. They will [U]actually[/U] save money that way and won't have to lie about it like they do when they claim ORION is saving money by cutting miles. [/QUOTE]
