[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1277868, member: 50088"] So today, I had my 2nd ORION ride along. My mileage for the first week on ORION was well over what their system said it should be. So they wanted to go along again to "fix" any issues. The main basis of ORION is that it essentially sets up your stops as dots on a map and figures out the shortest distances to complete those stops. The ORION guy's tablet shows how this is to be done (has GPS/map and expected paths to follow). Guess what it has you do excessively in residential stops? Change direction after the stop. In other word's, back (and park) in half of your customers driveways. We've been taught to always go around the block. Back only when necessary. This is a complete reversal of those rules. It's going to be impossible to meet the mileage target unless I do quadruple the backs I averaged before ORION. So today I proceeded to back like crazy per the instruction of the ORION tablet. I bet I have a whole mess of back first exceptions too. This is going to be interesting. We are told we MUST follow ORION at least 90%. If they approach me about my backs then I shall have some fun with it. [/QUOTE]
