[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1194887, member: 13921"] If you are delivering in order and sliding packages up to the 30 inch selection area, less than 9 seconds is very doable. When delivering way out of order, it is not possible. Cannot slide section 8 into section 4 if all of section 4 is still there. Even if 9 seconds is bogus, spending a lot of time looking for packages is also a safety issue. The idea behind Orion makes sense and I used to think that maybe it would be useful. Now, I am not seeing it. I have been covering the same route this week. Pretty much an all resi route, the route is run based on where the NDA for the day are. Usually, that means delivering a bit out of section 8, some out of 6, usually not getting till section 1 till after break. Yesterday, I had no NDA and I delivered in EDD order. The stops flew off. No digging, no looking, slide packages ahead, minor fine sort and away we go. Usually when I cover this route, I am -.5. Yesterday, I was -2.0. That is a pretty big effen difference. No running, took all my break and had to drive off trace to get it. Yesterday's experience has me rethinking the wisdom of even looking for other packages when I am doing NDA. Maybe on an all resi route, it is just smarter to deliver NDA and go back and start at section 1. Seems counter-intuitive, but a 1.5 hour difference is huge and I am sure that looking for packages is 100% of the difference. 2 sec selection vs 15-30 second selection over 160 stops adds up.
