[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1336780, member: 11246"] One of the many problems with Orion. It builds the route on when it thinks you will get to each stop. It is built around certain commit times, such as pickups. Once you get EDD/Orion in the morning, Orion's schedule is in stone. As we all know, the time studies are way off, traffic is never the same, leaving the building in the morning is never the same time, wait times at stops are not accounted for, looking for packages is not accounted for and also when we take lunch. Lunch is put in for the same time everyday. I am under no obligation to take lunch at 12:00 everyday. The farther behind we fall from Orions time, the farther we are away from pickups when they are scheduled to start. This causes us to stop delivering, drive cross town to pickup, then back to where we last left off.....putting us even further behind the Orion "schedule". The above scenario alone proves that Orion is far far far far from perfect. Until it can recalculate every few minutes based on where we are and time of day, the system will never be as efficient as a driver trying to do the right thing. Even if it could recalculate every few minutes, it will not be as good as an efficient driver. As a driver we are calling audibles 100's of times a day. I can't see Orion being able to do this. It would be like a computer telling the football coach which play is the best play.....for the whole game. [/QUOTE]
