[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1329109, member: 17969"] You gotta love the guys that cannot seem to calculate basic math and orion. ORION may save a "particular" driver a mile or two during the day, but when the day is extended, how does that save the company money? As we know, miles are added and route paid days extended. IF a driver saves one mile a day but goes 1 our extra HR in overtime, where does the company save money? 1 gallon of diesel costs about 4.25 retail. Most Diesel pkg cars get approx 6 miles per gallon. So, if a driver saves one mile, the savings to UPS is approx .70 cents. The 1 hour of overtime will cost UPS $51.22 UPS pays $51.22 in extended OT and you minus the .70 cents in fuel savings and the company ends up spending an additional $50.52 everyday or $252.60 a week using ORION. Gasoline cars (especially the new ones) get worse mileage. They are below 6 miles to the gallon depending on the weight of the pkg car going out. This may sound like a childrens math problem in third grade, but even a third grader could figure out there is NO savings for the company using ORION. TOS. [/QUOTE]
