[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 1405375, member: 1944"] On some days it can be almost spot on, and do things differently that may save a mile or a half, than the way I would do it, but it seems to me as smart as it is it should recognize bulk. Bulk is the biggest problem on a tighter route that used to go 70, now goes 49........or so they want. Since all the info, weight etc, and size when oversized, is in the bar code, it should recognize that you cannot crawl over a pile of 80 or so pkgs in the middle of your truck to get to an envelope at 4900. You seem pretty knowledgable so here goes. Shelves are marked 1000-8000. Each shelf has two sections. They start passenger side top is 1000+5000, bottom passenger is 2000+ 6000. Driver side top is 3000+7000, and bottom driver is 4000+8000. The above picture is my truck today, and the stuff you see was my 84th and 85th stop. I assure you it was the same from the back door. This is from the front of my truck just inside the door, I could not even get in between the door and the packages. Yet it expected me to fight this load and deliver sections 5-6-7-8 before I attempted to deliver this bulk. And it would have been delivered after I picked them up, and after they closed. I think Orion was on crack today. I was told by my Orion trainer, when I had bulk like this they would move work so I could walk through the truck, and/or they would have a utility driver meet me at the bulk stop with the work. That happened exactly once, the day he was with me. Also there are other mistakes that could have easily been fixed, but the gypsy show moved on and now its up to me and others to deal with it. So we do. It is unsafe, and stupid to deliver businesses last. It is also impossible most days. So I hope this info helps you in some small way. Maybe you will be the one to write an article that shows, the other side of this ingenius invention. Could it work...Yes, but it needed input from the people who do it, not from some guy with a pencil, and a phone, and a pc, who drew it up. [/QUOTE]
