ORION & peak...

[numberonedriver]

I haven't run orion in over 2 years and haven't had a word said to me.

Which just demonstrates the designers never looked at real world situations. Hey! It looked great on the computer screen!

Actually Upper Management thinks UPS looks like it does from the Hazmat Compliance video.

Yeah. I think our center at least has suggested Orion as a tool. We are told hit your first stop. Or tell us that you aren't. And hit your miles however you can.

 

[soberups]

We still use it.

So do we.

For laughs.

 

[Indecisi0n]

I only use it when I need some extra spending money.

Just imagine if UPS bought out Santa Claus and made him an employee having to run Orion!
The media doing their Santa tracking updates would be really baffled how much he has changed his delivery route!

Brilliant post.

Oh could you imagine how upset he would be? Instead of going to the next house, he would have to leave the neighborhood and drop of a business stop across the 4 lane highway.

Orion is not meant to be followed stop for stop, Peak or not.

Nor does it tell you to make an illegal u turn.

Nor does it tell you to make an illegal u turn.

There is not a program that exists that can force you to perform an illegal or unsafe maneuver.

Orion is still on in our center, and the numbers get posted every day, but not a word is said about it. Too many noobs and seasonals screwing things up to worry about Orion compliance.

The one day the past two weeks that I wasn't over by 20 miles I ran under by 2. When I got in that night I walked in the office and gave mgmt the good news. We all had a good laugh.

There are many other ways to run Orion without doing it stop by stop (especially during peak season). I'm to the point now where I can manipulate it to my advantage.

 

[opey]

we dont even have orion at all here in the nyc/Li area... thankfully, from what it sounds like

We were so light this past week I followed it 100% one day to kill time!

I follow that bs 100% every day! Frigging hysterical!
