[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1768344, member: 12570"] It's not nearly as bad as everyone here is making it out to be. The key is to work with the team member, not against him/her. When they offer a suggested solution that you may not agree with offer them an alternate solution that you think may work better. Take advantage of the time that you have them on the car to get your route optimized as you do not want to wait until they leave to have your center team do it. The Orion team member that rode with me drove for 4 months during Peak. He was a 23 year old "go getter" who is trying to become an ORS. He laughed when I pointed out that my kids are 27 and 30 and that I have a 7 month old granddaughter. We worked well together and my Orion setup was nearly stop for stop the following day. There are several things that he mentioned which may pertain to us all. First, UPS spent a lot of money on this technology and it is not going anywhere. We can either embrace it or continue to fight it. Second, the system is designed to reward saved miles with more stops. Third, Orion is to be used as a tool and [U]should not[/U] be followed stop for stop. Following Orion 100% would be considered sabotage. I was at 78% on my first day alone on Orion. Our center manager expects a minimum of 85%. I guess I have a little work to do. [/QUOTE]
