easy money when it wants to to go by the same building several times throughout the day for say air on the second floor then come back later for ground on the first floor then come back later for a saver on the third
I am thankful that we have them at our disposal. The drivers in our center didn't use to use them, until they kept cutting this one out of town route. The drivers of the four routes that were loaded up from this got together and staggered the requests and that cut route sure runs a lot more now.No, of course the Orion guy doesn't make up his own rules, silly. It comes from corporate and it overrides the Center Management team. The company is going in a different direction now. And that direction is saving miles.
I don't know how it works where you are but if we have an 8 hour request the work is moved before dispatch. And its just a request so its not a guaruntee . If you request it and it doesn't happen you get to request it again (doesn't count toward the 2 per month allowed by contract)
I would say that is very smart on those driver's part. Its funny, here a lot of times the management team will offer a driver the day off when he comes in on a day when he requests 8. I guess its easier to just let the guy home if they have coverage for his route instead of moving the work and covering pick-ups.I am thankful that we have them at our disposal.

A Construction Crew closed a street down today, I screamed out my door "You are ing with Orion!" They didn't laugh.Orion is in place to cut routes and dumb down the job so the union can be busted under the guise of reducing miles.
You guys that are 'beating' Orion are suckers and are playing right into management's hands.
