[QUOTE="Orion inc., post: 2322639, member: 58808"] Well it's not working. The drop out rate for new guys is about 90%. No algorithm or computer model will replace solid, concrete area knowledge. All the variables in Orion were not included when they developed it. Even the Orion guys admitted this. They don't account for OCAs, pick up compliance or business stops before 5. Maybe in the bog, but in big urban settings, it is not working. It actually frustrates new drivers because it contradicts methods taught. I've seen these new guys get frustrated because instead of learning a layout of how a good route runs and how to adjust to daily changing conditions, Orion just spits out any order. The only time Orion works is on all resi routes with no business or pick ups and small amount of NDAs. They designed a system that doesn't include every variable for the actual job. That's why they aren't seeing the success that they try to say they have with it. And slso that's why these 20 somethings kids are saying no way to driving and FT. It's creating a labor shortage of good, skilled drivers. All the guys with real good solid methods and habits are retiring and the ones coming up aren't learning that. And that makes adapting to changing elements very bad. [/QUOTE]
