[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 1217649, member: 11315"] My ORION experience this week is mixed. I worked on it with the ORION sup for 2 days but there are still many flaws. (I've stated most in UPS PRESSROOM THREAD) I keep an open mind using it but the force-fed use of it is just downright wrong. With EDD, you take that list and use it as a tool to get the job done. Forcing the 85% ORION trace brings up glaring mistakes. It is very true your residential backing will increase 10 fold. Left turns are the norm. Forcing odd-even delivery on busy state roads is scary to say the least. My paid day has gone up an hour since implementation, when following EDD I'd be .5 paid under. But the most absolute ridiculous thing about ORION is the disregard for basic "back of the truck" delivery methods. I've lost so much time looking for packages in the back, I find it useless. To make me pick stops from my 1000 section randomly, clear the 2000 section BACKWARDS while also searching for stops in my 3000 and 5000 shelf is the most disgusting thing I've seen done. I pride myself in getting the job done quick, safe, and off the clock as early as possible. I've become brain tired from the searching and constantly using my EDD trace knowledge to figure out the randomness of my ORION trace. I just can't imagine for the life of me how UPS will assume a much weaker paid-over driver will be able to do this. If you are light, it can work. If you are bulked out or in peak season, IT DOESN'T WORK ! [/QUOTE]
