[QUOTE="40andOut, post: 1142609"] Discipline for failing to follow ORION has been mentioned here, but not carried out yet. I am thinking that letting them have it both ways is the best course of action. Follow ORION to a tee until you have to break off. Rack up the miles by having to break off to avoid missed stops. File for over 9.5, and watch the stops loaded in your truck eventually plummet. If you start missing stops they will just blame you, not ORION. The excess miles reports will eventually force them to look at why ORION is failing...unless you don't follow it (then they can blame you). But if you follow ORION and avoid service failures by breaking off, the system will have to be re-evaluated. Despite what P-man has been saying on this forum, I have heard from drivers how disastrous the pre-launch trials of ORION were. It concerns me that UPS is rolling ORION out so feverishly despite it not being fully functional (not re-looping during the day). What would be the motive for implementing ORION prematurely??? I am speculating here, but could it be that a yet to be announced technology which relies on ORION is waiting in the wings? Or is it just (as others have speculated) a technique for "dumbing down" the job so that by the next contract anyone can do the job (even a scab) and the current drivers are being used to work out the bugs?
