[QUOTE="35years, post: 2137707, member: 60822"] And how many pickups and how much delivery volume has been lost because following ORION messes up delivery and pick up times? I personally lost 6 pickups to competitors simply because we would no longer honor delivery time verbal commitments in place for decades. In addition, how many of those miles were actually saved because the implementing centers cleaned up EDD trace along with miles saved because of Surepost? The drivers actually using ORION, who know their routes, know if ORION can save them miles or not. As a full time on road sup you know very well that the ORION solution for each route can be manipulated by the management team on a daily basis. What would you say would be the result of sending every route in a center out with the ORION plan set for the "traveling salesman solution" with the AM and PM stops set for 0% EDD mirroring? This is supposedly the ORION solution that would produce the least amount of miles. They tried it on my route...HaHaHaHa I laughed all the way to the bank. It added 30-90 miles a day. How many miles do you think ORION would save if [B]every[/B] driver followed it 100% except breaking off for service failures? Stop drinking the Koolaid, or perhaps just spouting the propaganda. The ORION mileage gains are mostly due to lowered levels of service, safety compromises, (backing into driveways) EDD being cleaned up, and drivers making mileage gains despite the ORION plan. If not, then why is ORION manipulated to mirror EDD, or not used at all during peak? [/QUOTE]
