[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1177788, member: 14668"] I had my ORION implementation ride on Thursday. It didnt work. I had to turn it off almost immediately in order to make service on businesses and to avoid doing pickups 4 hours before their scheduled time. It predicted that I would run 129 miles; by switching it off and running the route [I]my[/I] way we only did 120, and I was 10 out of 11 on pickup compliance and only half an hour overallowed. There were pockets of the route where it was an improvement over the flawed EDD, and with a significant amount of work on management's part it could wind up being of some benefit to a relief driver when I am on vacation, but it wont ever be able to duplicate the 17+ years of area knowledge I have in my rural area and I have no intention of ever using it. On my route at least, there is no way the company will [I]ever[/I] regain the money it spent implementing it. Its unfortunate that those resources were utterly wasted on flashy, high-tech gimmicks instead of low-tech, [I]realistic[/I] improvements to our preload operation and dispatch system that would reduce misloads and generate [I]authentic[/I] savings in time and miles.
