[QUOTE="giggity, post: 1193605, member: 49201"] I've had orion for about a month and it has been a disaster. my edd was perfect! I spent 2 hours of my own time in the pas office setting up my route's rdo and it was set up virtually stop for stop. now orion comes along and supposedly 'optimizes' my route on a daily basis but it doesn't take the pre-set load into account at all. I work from 1000 to 6000 to 8000 and so on. it has me trying to deliver way too many stops before 10:30 and when I cant get them all I have to back track or be out of trace. but the obvious problems are that it doesn't know the difference between left and right, odd and even, high and low or resi and biz. it has me making left hand turns crossing a 4-lane divided highway over a dozen times during the day, with subsequent u-turns to get back where I was. what pisses me off the most is that i'll be heading back down that side of the highway later and can make each of those stops from the right .. just how we're taught. I can either be 90% with late air, missed business, and more miles or 70% with less miles and made all service .. but I get bitched at either way. and not one single mgr will tell me which is more important! I use orion to a point but when I hit the more country part of the route I deliver the way I want to and HAVE to in order get off the remaining biz. it's a tool but my common sense and edd are better.
