[QUOTE="Heavy Package, post: 3662083, member: 70051"] So while digging for my 9th stop on my 7400 shelf on Friday, here's my 2 points on losing RDO and getting the turn by turn maps. Since UPS is all about the numbers.....All hypothetical just like every number at UPS. [B][U]Point 1.[/U][/B] Say ORION is great and saves 10 miles per route per day. Gas averages at $3/gallon and we save 1.5 gallons of gas per route per day. That's a savings of $4.50. But labor increases 1 hr per day to dig for packages at an average OT rate of $40/hr. Loss per route: $36.50 / day. Weekly increase in cost on a 50-route center per week: $9,125.00 Dollars [B]Putting 60,000 drivers in the USA per week: $10,950,000 ADDED COST PER WEEK [U]Point 2.[/U][/B] Turn by turn maps and directions are coming per my center manager very soon. What no one has mentioned is that if you skip stops / scroll down to do things efficiently and make service - [B]THE MAP DIRECTIONS KEEP TELLING YOU TO GO TO THE STOP AT THE TOP OF THE DIAD!!![/B] You can never hit a stop and then keep going without following exact ORION trace. This is truly asinine. I can't even imagine the new guys, who we need to drop boxes, are going to make it this peak. It is a true train wreck and I will take every last dollar of OT this peak to the bank. [IMG]https://pylant.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/train-wreck-wallpaper__yvt2.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
