Honestly this is a serious issue that will only get worse. The more technology they add or things like CIR to make us deliver more stops really just compounds the problems should something like friday happen.
If history is any guide, I'm afraid you're right. We've had ORION here for well over 5 years and it has always been a constant detriment to not only employee moraleproduction but even safety. For drivers who had delivery areas out in the rural and and hilly terrain, many would run their two-lane highway and 3 block long uphill driveway stops first if they knew bad weather was going to hit by the mid point of the day. Then the office begins the usual threats over complying with a program that simply can't lay out a sensible trace even in decent weather and what happens? Guys stuck in snow drifts out in the middle of nowhere, sometimes missed stops in the hundreds just for one car, and/or accidents and injuries due to the fact that total darkness and slippery surfaces is never a safe situation to be forced to work in.
Not really that bad, just write down the time you stop for lunch. 30 minutes later or one hour later, enter that time and finish time in the diad. (Both times will match current dial time, minus 30 or sixty for start of course.)
I'm not ORION, I've just driven and dispatched it
It's all outsourced to india.
How does one “look like” they don’t have a waiver?What happened to shaving? I mean I'm used to it (USMC) I've been shaving every morning seven days a week for like 15 years...whether I'm working, or vacation, weekend, doesn't matter to me...
Did they take that rule away? Half the drivers I see practically have beards, and they don't look like they have a waiver either. No one gives aanymore?
Edit: I'm not for or against it, again I will always shave. I'm just curious if the company changed that rule
Can’t force you to use their doctor.
Waiver denied. Looks like that crafty fella can shave just fine.
So you’re a typical management scum
er that sucks balls and is divorced? That’s how I read your post.
So you’re a typical management scum
Could be a heavy flow day
Actually no, I don’t shave anymore.
It is physically impossible to follow ORION while also following established 340 delivery methods. The two are mutually exclusive. If I had followed my ORION trace during an OJS ride 10 years ago I would have been written up for methods violations and wasted time and miles. The entire concept is inherently flawed, it is nothing but an exercise in forced stupidity for the sake of generating a compliance metric. You can drink the ORION kool aid because you are safe behind a desk, you will never have to actually go out in the real world and have to try and follow it. Those of us who do have to use it all agree that it is garbage.
