[QUOTE="JustDeliverIt, post: 4374741, member: 68456"] Mathmatically, I believe everyone is right with the absurdly high number of possible outcomes. But I think that the number is way overblown. Someone mentioned "pruning" before and I believe this is exactly what is happening. If you have a route with 200 stops, it's primarily a resi route (at least it would be in my center). You can pretty much count one street as one stop in most cases. You have 10 stops on a side street, most times you are doing all 10 at once. I know, we probably have all had days where you do some and then come back. But for the most part, I would think that it identifies these 10 stops as being a cluster together. You have streets and neighborhoods that you almost always do together, that drastically eliminates the "possible solutions" that ORION is going to spit out. By no means am I saying it works, quite frankly it doesn't work well in the real world no matter how good it looks on paper. But someone high up was sold a bill of goods and now anyone in a truck is stuck with it. You either bitch about it or make money off of it. Your choice. [/QUOTE]
