[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 1102240, member: 927"] I've said many times that no system is perfect. ORION is one of those less than perfect systems. While everyone is complaining about selection, I have a question...... My house has a HIN of 7300 (I just checked). If I get an NDA package and you are here at 10AM, are you NOT going to get out my ground package that is on teh 7000 shelf? Will you at least weigh the time saved by NOT driving here again against the bother of finding my other package? How about my neighbor? If he has a package that day, are you going to grab his from the 7000 shelf? Not coming to my neighborhood twice will certainly shave off quite a few miles (and time) if you can get it all delivered while you deliver my NDA package. Isn't this what an effective driver would do? If getting the ground packages delivered in the morning will save only 1/4 mile (or jeopardize service), I could see you saying no. If it can save 5 miles (and not impact service), any select penalty is probably worth it. Don't you try and make those choices? ORION is doing the same thing. It is trying to not go to my neighborhood twice. Its trying to think through what to deliver and not go to places twice. If we were to wait for the perfect system before taking a step, we would still be delivering on paper. I think the corporate folks put together a good system that will take a number of years to reach full potential. I think (as has happened before) that some sites will do great. Others will screw it up. Those managers that screw it up will sour many good people on a good system. That's unfortunate, but predictable. That doesn't make the system or decision wrong..... [/QUOTE]
