[QUOTE="CharleyHustle, post: 1683169, member: 26998"] " our goal is so anyone can get in the truck and follow Orion with no area knowledge as efficiently as a veteran driver" This to me sounds like a talking point that attempts to intimidate drivers into compliance. First, most of the "veteran" drivers in my barn are more than a few ticks over allowed, and ORION has only made those numbers worse. Its hard for me to believe that UPS wants a whole stable full of drivers like me and my veteran co-workers. The time allowance for miles is huge and when you strip the miles out of any route the numbers are going to look bad. My route ran 140-160 miles before ORION, now some days ORION will cut that to 120. On those 120mi days I'm always an hour to hour and a half over. ORION is a dispatch tool that allows dispatchers to see routes ahead of time and now add in the factor of miles in a attempt to get a closer approximation of work measurement before hand. Cutting miles allows for more stops and packages for each route and thus more production, regardless of who is driving a veteran or rookie. Metric compliance is needed to give the dispatcher a better approximation. If anything, the jobs to be eliminated are dispatchers and associated supervisors who will not be need once the computer takes over all aspects of the dispatch. Once this happens traditional routes will be changed as the computer will dispatch only on miles reduction and not be restricted by area or loop boundaries. [/QUOTE]
