[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1644023, member: 13921"] The route I have been covering has not been 'optimized for Orion,' but it should not have to be. It is a 100% residential route. There is not 1 business on it. There should be nothing to optimize, the program should just figure it out, but it does not. Orion trace is to run air in the order that it would be and then start the route at the last air stop. Today, I had 5 NDA, when I delivered the 5th NDA stop, it was my 22nd stop. Had I done it the Orion way, it would have been my 5th. Seems pretty stoopit to me. One of the days I had no air, so I thought I would run it via Orion. Ran it pretty much in EDD order, with a couple of flips that made sense until I got to section 7. Then it appeared to have been a random shuffle done just to add miles. Made absolutely no sense whatsoever. I do not understand why a program that is designed to reduce miles would need to be optimized for a 100% residential route. UPS needs to ask for their money back.
