[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 2336271, member: 50088"] Missed my point. If Orion does one thing for the company, it creates a mileage target and a stop for stop method of accomplishing it. Right on the computer screen. Even if it doesn't translate to the real world, it can still be used to the company's advantage in confronting a driver of going way over miles. I'm not really talking about the guy who follows it over 90%. If you follow it and go way over, oh well. I'm talking about the guy who stubbornly doesn't follow it and is going over miles. These are the guys they can target. UPS chases a lot of numbers and Orion compliance is one. If you don't follow it you need to be under miles. My main point is for the driver that is interested in looking good on paper. This is the guy that knows the route quite well and can beat Orion just by visualizing their whole day in their head. This is the driver that purposely lowers his compliance to prove a point against Orion. You come in at like 35% compliance and beat Orion by 12 miles. It has a certain gratification to it. So you basically have two camps. The guys who follow it and just don't care where the miles end up. Or the guys who choose to beat Orion by running it their way. The company is fine with both approaches because in each case, a number is reached. When you say UPS used to go after guys more before Orion for running up miles, how did they really know unless it was excessive? There wasn't a mileage solution for the day before Orion, was there? Just asking. Was there a mileage estimate based on running regular EDD? [/QUOTE]
