[QUOTE="moldsporh, post: 5776253, member: 54834"] It is exactly that....a miles optimizer but with lackluster results...it's so we could get a kickback,bonus, discount, call it what you want. Also, you may see the technical side of it, but we as drivers are told to use Orion, and we have to stay what...within 85%? Doesn't matter about PDS, RDO, ODO....How about let the driver get the route done in a sensible order and at a reduced time on road. Why does UPS try to save a couple miles when getting back 30 min earlier saves FAR MORE $$$ than the fuel/wear used to drive 2 or 3 miles, or 10 miles. When I'm told you to use Orion trace, I'm out later. When I freelance my route so the customers get their business pieces BEFORE 2PM OR NOON, they are HAPPY. This whole bit with Orion puts a middle finger in the faces of business owners who need product for the day and to be able to send product back out. They get pretty pissed when we deliver to them at 4 PM instead of 11 AM....just to appease the bean counters...who pays for this? The CUSTOMERS, take care of them. [/QUOTE]
