[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1014250, member: 13921"] That is the problem that I see. I was bricked out Friday. Had close to 100 more pieces than a normal day. Thankfully, I did not have even 1 NDA and I was able to deliver on trace. This was a load where EDD/PAS saved me from going back to at least 10 stops. Every stop that was on the floor, had 2 or 3 packages on a shelf, there was so much bulk on shelves, that there were 2 or 3 packages in each section that belonged in different sections (found a section 6 package in section 8, but I found it on trace, saving me a hella long drive.) In my experience, PAS/EDD implementation was like pulling teeth with no novocaine. I would expect Orion to be the same. I would also expect that after some intense growing pains, that it really would save some time and miles. I have had plenty of resis NDA where I was back delivering ground to a neighbor, would love to get that off with the NDA. It sounds like Orion is attempting to do what many of us already try to do. It would also be nice when delivering rural routes to have suggestions to really reduce miles. The route that I am on now has lots and lots of lake roads, the area is not laid out on a grid or at least not a very good grid. Many days, it loops nicely, yesterday it kind of did, but there were several ways that it could have been done and it would be nice to see what the lowest mile way is. I don't know if my way was the best and I would be interested to see what a smart program would do with a same-type situation. There will be some days that it does not work, but there will be many where it works as advertised. [/QUOTE]
