Maybe it has something to do with actually caring for the customers in which you have been charged to service each day. It is your job to deliver each and every package on your vehicle in a timely manner. I simply cannot and will not provide a service to my customers that is less than what they expect. Orion be damned. I will fix this farce of a program all day long to insure that my customers are taken care of in a proper way. That....is called work ethic and UPS will not take that away from me.
I absolutely agree with everything you said, but up to a point. My current center manager and driver sups acknowledge my ability to simultaneously service my customers and keep miles and time on the clock down below Orion numbers by doing the route the "old fashioned" way. But if we are assigned new sups, or if corporate starts holding my current sups accountable for Orion trace...then I'll have no other option than to follow it 100%. In the end, we have to follow instructions and our pensions/paychecks rely on actually keeping the job. I worry about the long term future of our company if they double down on this notion that Orion and a less knowledgeable work force is preferable to a highly experienced, independently thinking one.
95% Orion trace nationwide coming in 2019, fair warning.
