[QUOTE="QKRSTKR, post: 1102528, member: 16710"] The miles saved are mostly to/from miles. So yes miles have been reduced. My old bid I saved 14 miles a day just right there. Of course I have to go thru way more intersections and It takes just as long. So there is a little over allowed right there. We have some routes that have to drive a long way thru town. No one in there right mind would travel these paths when there is a by-pass that is faster. Upstate, it would work if you know where a stop is loaded for sure. I Found that if I even started moving stuff around in the car to a different shelf or whatever, sometimes you have to stop and think, "where the hell did I put that?" If your going to follow orion, the only way to sort your load is by seq. #. before orion i never had to cause i knew the exact trace of the route. Now you have to actually look at the Diad to see where a stop is loaded. You generally know, but not for sure. Where as before if you were working the 6000 shelf, pretty much all your next so many stops were on the 6000 shelf. Now you can go from 6000 to 7000 to 8000 back to 6000. Like I said, they retraced all our routes and really screwed it up. If they would have left them alone, it would have been better. [/QUOTE]
