ask an IE anything

[catstalking]

IE has always been where UPS sent the people they couldn't trust to do other jobs.

no that would be on road management

 

[catstalking]

Do you remember in the early 90's when they gave I.E. the keys to run the company?. I think it only took about a month that they realized they made a big mistake And completely shut them off from almost everything Man management back in the day was way smarter.

>"hey do you remember 30 years ago when they did this thing that probably didn't actually happen lol man that was SOOOO messed up, big yikes my dudes!"

no, they change the allowance to correctly capture the work; did you even read my post

if you accept that their should be time allowances at all, it's a logical thing to do; if you don't accept time allowances, then this is all irrelevant to you thanks for replying have a great day drive safe i guess

So capturing a delivery point at the first side walk instead of the door is accurate allowance?

It’s also funny how some drivers were beating the Orion miles by 20, 30, 40 miles a day…how do you even explain this IE boogeyman??

ORION has AM/PM parameter adjustments that effectively neutralize the miles savings if they're set too high; for example setting them both to 10 basically turns ORION off and you get DOL-trace, setting them to 0 would disregard all service obligations and be a pure miles calculator

basically, they weren't beating ORION, they were beating their PDS; the only way to beat ORION-unleashed would be to literally fly or go offroad

the method is to capture the first available delivery point, whether each and every allowance perfectly captures that is highly variable

They were all moved out from the door about 6 months ago. You give us a map. We can see what is changed. Why don't you just say, we do what ever company does? We lie to you to make you work for less?

 

[catstalking]

If that statement is true. Why has FedEx volume plummeted? So far 1 for 2. 50% correct.

• economy is teetering and despite the gaslighting that it's "good" everyone can feel it's not so they're holding back on spending

@catstalking

I routinely beat Orion, many drivers can. If you believe the shortest and fastest way through a route is by Orion trace you are sorely mistaken.

 

[catstalking]

Do you mean go back to the old days? Are you old enough to realize that UPS used to have a furniture division?

when was that?

you are beating your PDS's parameter settings, not ORION itself

 

[oldngray]

You didn't know about that?

 

[catstalking]

What is the heads of the corporate hierarchy thinking about Sunday delivery?

nobody wants it unless we are literally held at gunpoint to do it by our shippers

 

[oldngray]

You have to blame PDS because you can't admit ORION sucks.

 

[catstalking]

You didn't know about that?

i am not immortal, there are lots of things i dont know

 

[catstalking]

no, i blame the PDS because that's literally the reason anyone can beat an ORION solution

i'm not joking when i say the only way to beat a 0-0 parameter would be to fly or drive off-road; this shouldn't be controversial, it's just a miles optimizer

They still had one of the old furniture vans in my center when I started but we no longer delivered furniture. I'm not sure of the dates but thinking around 1950's or so.

Will AI do it in the future?

if i had to bet, yes

 

[catstalking]

This is funny.

You mean to say that a veteran driver with a vast amount of area knowledge, doesn't know how to get through a route faster than a bean counter that says to drive past your 1st physical geographical stop to deliver an air somewhere else, then come back to the 1st physical stop for the ground, then end up driving past the air stop 20 min later.

too bad most of our driver pool doesn't fit that description at all

Ok.....yup, Orion makes all the sense.

Orion was created so UPS could get a sweet discount from using less fuel when gas was stupid expensive around 2008-ish...by traveling less miles. However it resulted in longer on-duty time, increased OT, pissed off customers, etc, etc.

Orion has been a pita from day 1.

the numbers dont lie, we pushed SPC up 10-15 with no loss in paid day; you can cope with unicorn scenarios all you want, doesn't change reality
