[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1200331, member: 14668"] I turn ORION off first thing every morning, and I finally got talked to last Thursday because I had the worst ORION compliance (59%) for the entire center on the previous day. I pointed out that I also had the second BEST actual vs. planned mileage for the entire center on that day, coming in 32 miles UNDER what ORION projected for the route, and that on a daily basis I beat it by at least 20 miles. I then politely offered to start following it 100%, and my sup politely said no and he thanked me for making good business decisions and asked me to continue doing so in the future. For my route at least, ORION is a farce. Its a sick joke, and anyone who even tried to follow it would have late air, missed businesses, pickups 2 hours early or late, etc etc. What happened was that my route was the last one on the center to have ORION installed. The implementation team was up against a deadline and scheduled to start at a different center the following week, so they just threw mine together half-assed at the last minute in order to get it done and move on. I'm not holding my breath waiting for it to get "fixed", either. Quite frankly I could care less if they ever fix it, I have 18+ years of area knowledge on my route and less than 4 yrs left until retirement eligibility, so I have no need for silly and useless technology in the first place.
