[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 1200022, member: 4653"] My opinion is I like it. I've only been on it for a week, but each day I've had more stops done by lunch than any other day in 4 years on the route. I have been a little below average in volume the past week but still I had never had as good a day in 4 years as I had the last 5 days on Orion. Management must be working with the preload because my load quality has been almost perfect. The Orion sup. who rode me said what they give you for work is what it is whether its an 8.5 plan or a 10.5 plan you're stuck with it for the day. The days of getting help or driving extra miles to help someone because you're light are over. Its all about the miles and not production as far as the Orion guys are concerned. I'm assuming if you're really slammed (like 12-13 hours) they'll send help but for the most part no. I think its the first thing UPS has done that actually benefits the driver. I haven't punched out past 545 since I've been on Orion. The OMS don't know what to do with themselves now because they are not allowed to make those brilliant decisions like sending you 10 miles out of your way to take 10 stops from someone. It still took them a while to get it through their thick, close-minded skulls that they can't do that. Many were reprimanded by the Orion boss many times before they stopped. That's my humble opinion at least.. [/QUOTE]
