[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1745725, member: 50088"] It depends. Depends how well you understand the underlying fundamentals of Orion. Depends on the route. Depends on your flexibility (on taking breaks, etc). It's up to the driver to make Orion work. Unusual delays could put it out of your hands though. I know many don't want to admit it, but Orion generally works when ran exactly as planned with the exception of sometimes placing businesses too late. Yes there are other errors as well but a willing driver can make smart adjustments without screwing up the plan. Most of Orion's plan will make sense only if you make every p/u break from the exact stop that the solution determined. This requires that you are right on schedule (+/- 15 minutes or so) in order to make pick ups on time. This can only be known if you have an image of the solution to refer to during the day (pics of Orion screen on phone) which 97% of drivers don't have so are blind which makes Orion appear stupid to you. Also, if you don't pull all the intended 180's that Orion planned, it will again look ridiculous to you. Not trying to sound like an Orion advacate but the algorithm itself does actually work, not flawlessly, but if the driver works with it and makes human needed adjustments, it can work well. [/QUOTE]
