Wow ORION really is that bad

[Brownslave688]

Leave it to UPS to come up with a system that has you delivering whole neighborhoods in the reverse order of which it was loaded.

All because it saved you .3 miles (or about 10 cents at today's fuel prices) to not drive around and start at the other end.

Why is being over dispatched with air your problem? Just don't run any ground packages before all of your air is delivered.

It's bid being over dispatched as much as it is loading air in with bulk stops. If something happens and I need to just deliver air instead of their ground too. It's hard digging through 50 boxes to find 2 air.

"Goy" Orion? Does that mean the route hasn't been "cut"?

Today was more like being marched to the ovens

I remember our center getting ORION. I used it.............for about 3 stops. Who else thinks driving in and out of a gated area three or fours times makes sense?

Jack Ass!
I'm surprised he has not retired yet.
I worked with him on some Yard Control software back in the 80's.
Super sharp guy.

It's from a magazine cover with his name in the article but I did change it per your enlightenment.
The name I replaced it with is in no way what I think of Jack but if its funny ... it!

They are having problems finding good managers now. A lot that I know are staying on an extra two to three years and being compensated very well for this. It's almost criminal what they are pulling down. There is a huge hole in good help on the horizon.

 

[StoptheAct1212]

I never followed it yett. The only good thing that i never seen anyone mention. That ive always done anyway. If you got a air, its trying to get you to deliver the grounds with that. And thats all i gotta say about this Orion waste of money..

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

"Orion first stop" is our flavor of the month.

We are being directed to go to our first stop unless we can justify not doing so, such as for making sure to get our air off on time.

Orion has gotten my first stop right only twice.

I have sections that I run with Orion and it works, if I'm willing to turn around in resi driveways. It's not a complete failure, but forcing percent in trace and first stop is just stupid. Not every driver purposely jacks up miles

 

[vvv]

If ORION ran a military campaign...the bombers would be ordered to drop napalm on their own troops in order to cut 4.3 miles off of the flight plan.

It really is that stupid.

that's a good one!!

Anyone know if pickups are part of making compliance? Since the Orion update last year where p/u's are now listed in ODO mixed with delivery stops, I've wondered this. One issue with this is Orion orders p/u's out of out and often way off schedule for customers where a specific time is expected. So while I keep all deliver stops in order if possible, I break off and run p/u's at proper times which of course blows up miles if you're not breaking off according to Orion. Not my problem. I only care now since I've made it my mission to chase this metric no matter how stupid.

So would you still be 100% regardless of what order you run p/u's and when the break points are?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Pickups are not part of your trace. %.

 

[WayBill]

ORION has made pickup compliance a thing of the past. Totally screws time allowances for drivers that have several pickups. Have to justify those extra 15 stops a day. Hello, 9.5 list.

Oh for Pete's sakes---just tell Johney about double standards and be done with it.

 

[screamin chicken]
