In the Western Conference it is much wiser to leave on the last day of the month. You would start collecting your pension on the first day of the next month. If you work one day in a new month you cannot collect until the next month. We start collecting the pension even if you are on vacation as long as you do not return to work.
Then don't follow it. Try to organize the packages in a sensible order and if necessary break trace in order to deliver bulk stops and get your truck cleared out. Use common sense and area knowledge. Your management team will bitch about your lack of compliance, but then again they will bitch no matter what you do so there is no point in caring.
In Rainbows and Unicorns Land maybe. But in real life we still move packages into the selection areas per the methods and per common sense. We've been on ORION long enough for someone to have told us the methods have changed. We still haven't been told.
At the end of the day all you have to do is say you're doing the best you can. Don't say you can't or won't. Just do the best you can safely. Standards and compliance are fancy words they came up with but know little about.
Not a word.
You will with ORION.. You will be instructed to do it to save miles
And that is when you refuse to do so in the name of safety. I had Three ORION rides due to being 95% on trace yet having excessive miles. Each ride I was instructed to do back into driveways and each ride I refused to do so in the name of safety. There are WAY too many kids,dogs,trash cans and very High Dollar homes in my neighborhoods and no way am I going to put myself in a position that an accident or property damage could occur. I was threatened on each ride,but I held my ground and drove thru the Cul De Sacs as I have been trained to do. Every morning after start I am told I exceeded my miles,and every morning i smile and say "yes boss, I'll try harder today"
