[QUOTE="CharleyHustle, post: 2142125, member: 26998"] As just a simple truck driver again, I'm assuming that "YOY" means year over year. So I'm assuming that you are comparing last years miles with today's miles for your center. Now, my opinion would be that you would be flunked and laughed out of any math department, for making such an abstract comparison. The amount of variables that could effect that number is huge. Its like saying last April 7th the temperature was 53 degrees and today it is only going to be 35 degrees so we're going to have an ice age. Or reverse it and the world is going to burn to a crisp. Just look at your division numbers in you last post. Simply taking 5 more stops per rout per day to the post office could easily produce that amount of reduction of miles. Simply changing the day of the week YOY could have greater effect. Certain deliveries like lottery tickets that all go out on the same day can make huge differences in stop counts and miles driven. Given the small sample size from this site you could make the assumption that fewer and fewer drivers are even trying to follow ORION anymore. To sum it up, you are going to have to come up with a lot more concrete numbers to convince anyone, let alone drivers, that ORION is doing what you say. [/QUOTE]
