[QUOTE="TheBrownGuy, post: 1130428"] It is making me allot of overtime. UPS is making a sad mistake implementing this system before it was even close to being ready. The problem is that the too many arbitrary "goals" are fed into the program without weighting them properly. The result on my route is excess miles to an extreme. The program is not smart enough to properly adapt to changes between days, let alone adapt during the day. Any driver with a few months of experience on a route can easily beat ORION on miles. Even when ORION gets close to looping the route with a reasonable amount of miles it does so at an extreme cost to service (delivering metro pickups at the same time as picking up) and safety (walking across 55 MPH roads, tripping over bulk to deliver a boxes from shelf 7 in the AM etc.). It seems that the implimenters have a great deal of latitude on how closely ORION mirrors your old EDD (now called RDO). So don't believe the hype that it automatically finds the shortest path everday based on your stops. [/QUOTE]
