[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 1319272, member: 4653"] Sober, the problem is the employer thinks ORION is in its best interest. In theory it is, because less miles should mean less fuel and less hours worked by the driver. The problem is the ORION system isn't perfected yet or even respectable when it comes to accuracy. At first I thought it was only my route that was screwed up but I had a chance to cover 2 or 3 other routes on ORION in the last 6 months. So, I look at the delivery order for these other routes and my mind is saying "WTF" or "this can't be right". Let's face it, the system needs work. I only wish management would acknowledge this publicly in a PCM. They know its not right because I've been approached by a manager to tell me to "get together with the ORION guy to change the 'solution' because you're under the miles but under 85%". BUT, doesn't this defeat the entire purpose of ORION and all the money spent on all the technology if I can just walk into the office and say "Ok, I run it this way and that way" and it changes the entire program? To me it sounds like they are saying "tell us how you run the route and we'll make ORION work for it". What good is that? Why not just let me run the route the way I do and not spend hundreds of millions of dollars to let me run my route the way I do? I swear, UPS makes money in spite of itself. I bet I could let my cousin with an IQ of 82 run a center for a month and it wouldn't miss a beat and would make the same #'s. I bet he could! [/QUOTE]
