[QUOTE="soberups, post: 3786173, member: 14668"] Here is how the scam works. 8.2 hour days mean more routes dispatched, which means [B]less miles per route.[/B] 8.2 hour days also allow a driver to waste 2 hours sorting, stuck in traffic, making excessive left turns etc in order to follow ORION without the route failing. Send me out with a 10 hour day instead of the 8.2 and I no longer have time to play number games, I have to do the route the “right” way instead of the ORION way in order to prevent service failures. There is also a built in bias in the way UPS collects mileage/ORION data. If the route next to me follows ORION and gets too far behind, I will have to take stops off of him. If that happens—if I deliver more than 3 stops that were not in my EDD in the AM—I show up on the report as “DRTP” (Different Route Than Planned) and my miles and ORION compliance do [B]not [/B]show up and do [B]not [/B]count against the center average whereas the route I helped (that [B]did [/B]follow ORION) comes in [B]under[/B] planned miles and [B]in[/B] compliance which has the effect of hiding ORION’s flaws and maintaining the illusion that it works. Thats all this is, people...a high-tech snake oil scam to fleece gullible shareholders with fancy talk of “transformation.” [/QUOTE]
