[QUOTE="35years, post: 3756135, member: 60822"] Orion can be programmed to follow RDO in what ever % your Center management team thinks will work out best. The ODO A.M stops can even be programmed to follow RDO at 10-90% and the P.M. stops at a different %. We were one of the first centers with ORION. We have not had RDO displayed in the DIAD for a long time. Our management team has ODO mirror RDO at 90%+ during peak. If your management team lets ORION run wild this peak they are crazy. We also have had the 70 hour rule imposed on us the last two years. Rolling thousands of stops every day from late November till January. I worked 9:30 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. on a daily basis, bringing back stops every day (sometimes classified as emer cond, sometimes missed). One of our drivers was disciplined for not helping out after 10 P.M. At that point even the most dedicated drivers realize there is no "getting it done" anymore, and so no one even tries to finish them all. The [B]70 hours in[/B] [B]8[/B] days rule was a joke. You reset Saturday night+Sunday and only need 34 hours off to reset the clock. So I was forced to work 83+ hours in 8 days continuously NOV-Jan. And I am a 35+ year UPSer. I laughed every time UPS told the press none of our drivers worked over 70 in 8 days, our entire hub did! The economy is even stronger this year. There will be more competition for seasonal workers and internet sales will continue to grow. Our Center's situation will be coming to many centers this year. Until all hours after 60 are voluntary, I will vote no every time. [/QUOTE]
