Orion Dead??

[Richard Harrow]

The way it was explained to me was that the latest version of ORION is going to learn from us, and so we've come full circle. I spent years telling them, for free, the best way to run routes.

ORION is proof that it is possible for a company to have too much money.

ORION theoretically works within a certain stop count threshold. Anything above that and it s the bed. It's amazing to me how ORION will actually make sense at 8:45am but as soon as one more saver comes down at 8:47, ORION has explosive diarrhea and starts randomly throwing stops anywhere and everywhere. And don't even get me started on pickups....

I don’t mind running Orion when I have room to work and walk down the truck. Take a couple minutes and set up the stops, no big deal. Doesn’t matter to me. It might be stupid but it is what it is

When I have to touch every package three times and work my way through a jungle gym to make service it’s creating more wear and tear on my already sore body. That’s when I get pi***d off.

Why does CIR not work 60% of the time now, and won't let you know until you hit stop complete?

Had this problem all last week.

Surepost packages being delivered with regular volume?

What is ORION? Never seen it. My center doesn’t have it. EDD all day every day.

Hope you’re right. But at what point will the “learning” translate into a more sensible order in the board, I wonder? Think the company will do an update at some point and cause these routes to make sense again?

My assumption is more shippers are becoming aware of the program, and, like McKesson, are opting out of it.

damn at least I know it’s not working in other places as well as here.

You're not alone. About half of my commercial stops no longer allow CIR. I'm "forging" a lot of COVID signatures nowadays.

I have to sign covid 19 on 80% of my commercial stops every day. Now when I can CIR something all the last name options are "cvd smith" etc.

When they eliminate "backing" from Orion, it might actually be a good program.

It would end up routing in an RDO format, the way we all deliver when we know better.

Not that I care what my numbers are, but this is gonna be time allowance lost for everyone. You know UPS cheats every which way.

I was told by my on road last week to not worry about following Orion anymore, but to bookmark my next stop every time. IT guy told me that Orion was going to "learn" how the route is run. Anyone else get told this?

Dynamic Orion coming to a center near you within a month, it adjusts on the fly I’m told.

Thats your reminder that you have to file a grievance because you just delivered a Surepost package to a business stop. Its in the contract. Give it a read.

The way i always understood it, was ups cant give those pieces to the P.O. we gotta deliver them.

Yes, commercial sureposts go to the P.O. all the time.
Yes, the software the shippers use shouldn't allow them to send surepost to comm addresses.
Yes, the software shouldnt allow them to send pkgs over 10 lbs surepost .

Seems a bit early. Usually best to roll something like this out a little later in the year, say, mid to late November.
