[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1013667, member: 42691"] Sure enough, I just checked what you talking about. The headline makes my point: "Stellar results expected from new package flow technology". Yeah. I like this man's quotes. Why? Because we've heard this sales pitch so many times through the years, that I can almost recite it from memory. Here are a few quotes: "[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]The difference between what ORION does and what we currently load is that ORION takes[/FONT][/COLOR][I]exactly[/I][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial] what is in the car on that given day and routes that in order, specifically." "[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]It gives us the ability to take all the time constraints on a specific route and plot a path that will keep the driver on time and determine the most efficient path for the best cost.' [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Another feature of ORION is the ability to intelligently dovetail stops. It looks for ground stops close to air stops, and it can determine if a driver has time to make those stops while in the area to save miles later in the day.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial]******[/FONT] [FONT=Arial]As always, the wildcard is UPS's preconceived idea of what is an acceptable time for each task. As everyone of us knows, this time is never acceptable and always puts us behind the eight ball. My guess is that this system will be no different. [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
