"Follow Orion 100% no exceptions"
"Okey dokey Boss!"
Next morning.
"You had late airs and missed some pick ups, I had a lot of complaints on you! Why did you miss service?"
"You told me to run Orion 100%, yes? I was working as directed!"
"Are you being a smart Alec? I do not want you missing service on ANY today! You understand me?"
"First, thank you for calling me smart"
"Second, my name is not Alec, I thought you know my name after all this time!"
"Third, since you speak English, and I understand English, yes I understand you!"
"Are we done? If I do not get out soon, I will have late airs. BTW, do you want I should Orion 100% today, same as yesterday?"
"I don't care what you do, just run the route so you have no service failures!"
"So, I am being instructed NOT to run Orion 100%? I just want to work as directed, you know!"
"GET OUT OF HERE!"

Here is a tale from the HUB.
"Don't worry about building the wall, just tail load the rest, we are almost done..."
10 minutes later, we get about 1/2 truck worth of irregs to load. We now have to do double work and move all the packages we tail loaded back to the last wall and make space. No problem, I get paid by the hour...

God, help us all.....
I will step on the truck and ask the loader "Where you got the hospital today?"
He doesn't even know he has loaded any hospital pieces.

No, its my personal phone. And yes, I use it to communicate with management. Unlike DIAD messages, which can be deleted or conveniently ignored, the text messages I send to management regarding operational or safety issues are saved to MY phone and allow ME to retain a record of the communication. And they cant discipline a driver for using his cell phone on company time or keeping it in the cab if they are the ones calling and sending messages to it in the first place.

For a long while I was doing exactly this. Deliver first ORION stop EVERY day. Then it became flavor of the month.
Of course, one day I was told to deliver an Early AM for another driver. The next day, the D***weed district manager comes over to "help" me...
"I saw yesterday, you didn't deliver your first ORION stop..."
"Yeah, because I was told not to and deliver an Early AM for another driver..."
"Well, do you think TODAY you can go to your first ORION stop first? Can you do that for me?"
"I've been doing it that way every single day that I haven't been instructed to go elsewhere first..."
"Yeah, but today, CAN YOU do that for ME? Your first ORION stop today?"
"I'll see what I can do, no guarantee's...."
friend'ing idiots...

Most package car drivers I know take pictures of the diad screen with their cell phones for proof of messages.

And some ignorant drivers believe all preloaders have the time to match up both labels for every package.
It is the preloaders job to put the package where it belongs in the PC, going by the SPA label. Its not the preloaders job to monitor and correct the unloaders/scanners label mistakes.

What is it? A brown box. Duh
I keep asking them do you want me run Orion or not? You only need to run 85%. Ok, where on the board does it tell me the percentage I am running? I get a blank stare

Per the methods it's the preloaders job to verify that the address matches the address on the SPA. If preloaders don't have time to do so then why do they seem to have plenty of time to talk to each other about fantasy football?

Don't back, but do back into driveways to avoid the extra miles of driving around the block.

While out on an S&V Ride being told by the ORS "I would have backed in that driveway to save miles." then a few days later the same ORS announces that our district is having a contest to see which center can have the least backs.
