[QUOTE="soberups, post: 3339699, member: 14668"] #2 was the biggie for me, it doesn’t matter how whacked my ORION solution is as long as I can still scroll through EDD and come up with a plan that actually works in the real world. RDO has been a godsend, but I can adapt and function without it. But if the stops keep changing order in “real time” then the only remaining workaround is manual sorting. Only an idiot—or someone who has never actually done the job—believes that ORION can actually make the job easier and more efficient. At best, it is an interesting exercise in map theory. But in terms of actually finding the most efficient way to deliver packages in the real world, it is garbage. And I dont say that lightly. I have hands-on experience with every technological advancement that UPS has made in the last 30 years. I went through CACD (the forerunner to EDD), PLD, from paper records thru 5 different iterations of the DIAD, PAS/EDD, and now ORION. For the most part these advancements have all been good and have made me more productive. I am not afraid of change, or new technology. But ORION is a complete, profound and utter failure.
