[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 3304693, member: 50088"] To the original point, dropping RDO. A fundamental change in the whole system would have to take place, and I don't see that happening for a long time. Right now, Orion order is calculated after driver start time. Often times, we're wrapped and ready to go and someone still hasn't hit the release button further wasting money. The final dispatch for every route isn't finalized until close to driver start time because last minute add/cuts are still being processed. For cars to be loaded in ODO, the final dispatch for EVERY route would need to be determined in the middle of the night before preload starts. Does anyone think that could happen? When one too many guys call out at 8am and one route needs eliminating and thus a bunch of add/cuts, what happens? That changes all corresponding Orion solutions. So how can that solution be made before preload starts? RDO is here to stay. [/QUOTE]
