As I being a 28 year veteran driver at UPS. I have learned that anything that is incorporated into the system like EDD and ORION which are funded and paid for by its investors that fail well they never admit to a system that is a failure I wonder why that is?????? Does anyone know the answer

It's a joke I came back from vacation to not having my RDO option in my diad only a map view .. well I have 2 streets closed for bridge repair in which I have to drive a extra 15 miles to go around and deliver each half of street before the bridge closure went and told dispatch and they said they could not fix it

It's not just UPS. I've seen this in my last government job, and you see it in politics all the time. It's some completely disconnected big wig that has an idea, they say "let's make it happen". They take bids for a contractor. The contractor sub-contracts 90% of the work, so there is no fluidity, communication, or integrity in the implementation, and so you end up with a bad idea with even worse implementation with so many hands in it that nobody even knows where to point the finger for it's failure, and yet the ones who came up with it are so invested financially, and their reputation is on the line for it to work, so they refuse to see it and continue to double down on it, stressed, screaming, pointing fingers, pleading to get it done and make it work.
That's what is happening now. The big wigs at UPS are desperate, screaming, and pleading to make it work and get it done. The managers, and supervisors have nothing to do with it. They honestly have it worse than us . They are told to eat a
sandwich every day.For Orion, I'll bet there were 10-15 different sub contractors involved and they barely even spoke to each other. They just saw $$$ as UPS just unloaded truck loads of money on their doorsteps, most likely before they even had a product finished. I saw it in government contracts a lot. The contractor would basically take the money and run...provide the
tiest service for the least amount of work and just cashed in.

Exactly true ups went public and turned this company into a investment. I do know for a fact that EDD was a billion dollar program paid for by a group of shareholders it was a published fact in early 2000,sIt's not just UPS.

This is not true. They can place blocks on the road before the construction for Orion to hit and have to go around. They’re either lying because they don’t want to bump their miles up, or they’re dumb.

1. Start on the beginning of shelf 1.
2. Deliver first stop
3. Look on shelf for next stop
4. Repeat.

Back track as much as with Orion because your loader can't put anything in order.

I find that just delivering the next lowest HIN number stop is the simplest. Keeping organized is good, obviously, though.

That's why this method will likely turn very frustrating with today's 300 pkg loads. Very time consuming to double and triple check all around the package's intended area making sure you're not missing anything.
So all you have to do is complain and they’ll give your route EDD back?

It helps if you come in 3 hours over every day for a week of 100% Orion compliance.
Would calling for help with business at 230 help as well?
Calling for help with business at 4:30 would help better.
