[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 1013934, member: 4653"] I do this on my own everyday. Its called "using your head" or "work smarter not harder". There is no need for the multi-million dollar investment to tell ME how to run MY route. I "dove-tail" my airs and grounds every day and deliver my last air at about 10:27. My internal body clock and area knowledge lets me maximize my efficency every day. This system sounds great in theory, but ultimately its going to fail on its intended purpose and I'll explain why. First, its a computer and while computers don't make mistakes they are dealing with the real world and there are too many variables on Earth for the computer to take in account every one. Second, its a computer and we all know they make mistakes, lol, (not real mistakes but you know what I mean). Just think of the round-about way your personal GPS took you on one day? And lastly, just look at the EDD/PAS system. What a complete failure in my mind. Our preload and dispacth sups. have all this technology and they screw things up EVERY hour of EVERY day. I'm not going to get into the EDD system but we all know what I'm talking about. i.e. 2 drivers having deliveries on the same street that only has 10 houses on it. The commercial area of our routes changing every day so our mid-sized shippers are getting there stuff at 1045 on tue. and wed. but 1400 on thurs. and 1630 on mon. and fri. and they want to know WHY? Simple question, no? Why did I get my packages at 1300 for 20 years and now some days I don't get it at all because the driver never makes it. I can go on and on but I won't The EDD sytem created those few but significant problems with its limited scope. What kind of customer murder will the Orion system cause with its greater scope and power? Like I said, when you take a road trip do you trust your GPS 100%? [/QUOTE]
