Saturday Ground Update

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

same as usual

all we are doing is moving Monday work to Saturday

For now.

It would have to be more than a bonus.

You would be amazed what $1K (FT) or $500 (PT) will do.

 

[cosmo1]

What do you disagree with about this statement cosmo1?

The short time I used ORION, it expected me to drive across logging roads and paths between cornfields. It Bing maps thought it was a road, ORION thought it was a road.

Oh... your IE guy, well that explains it all!

a certain building always asks for me

Do the hourlies file on you working?

I would be amazed if everyone knew that "bonus" is heavily taxed and the amount received is a pittance of the original amount.......all for selling your soul.

33%.

But, it's a scam.

But, it's a scam.

.....and probably a HUGE write-off for the company.

But, it's a scam.

It's worked before.

And, it's a one-time thing. A fifty-cent raise is there forever.

Yuppers.

A very effective one.

17.5 x 52 x $.50 = $455.

I want to know the percentage of routes going out Saturday, compared to a Tuesday or Wednesday. To get an idea how many drivers will be forced to work Saturday here, when we get it next year.

Yup, it thinks you can drive thru the woods. I have two neighborhoods on my route that are both one way in, one way out, separated by woods. It wants me to finish the one neighborhood, and then Go into the other neighborhood and do the first house I get to, if I drove thru the woods. It wants me to bypass all the other houses I pass as I'm entering that neighborhood, and go to the closest house thru the woods from the first neighborhood. That's all you need to know right there. The system is garbage.

 

[Star B]

It doesn't know that because it sees the "road" between the two neighborhoods.

If IE were to fix the data to disallow travel on that path, the solution should fix itself. Now getting them to fix it........ is another thing.

What road? It's woods. ORION is as USELESS as the guy that invented it.

nope

maybe 1/5, maybe 1/6, maybe lower depends on your resi density

that's a ridiculously easy fix if your PDS gave a

 

[ManInBrown]

nope

So if we run 60 routes on a max day, it should be in the neighborhood of 12-15 drivers need for Saturday?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Several weeks ago I had a fairly light day and could dance up and down the middle of the car. I decided to follow Orion stop for stop. 100% trace compliance, -1.30, punched out at regular time.

Orion does work.

Orion 2.0 will work better.

10-14 yeah something like that
