benefits of orion

[Browntown2014]

Orion is tool to de- skill drivers, and prepare for replacement workers in the event of shutdown. As the the bean counters rise in the management ranks, with very limited delivery experience, they are a mission to destroy customer service and the things that always keeps the public on our side, like a personality.

I keep hearing this but how does Orion make it any easier for a new driver to deliver a route? If I didn't have route knowledge and ran my route Orion's way 100% I would be out until 10pm and miss several business stops.

Orion has me drive past one of my 1030 airs, on right side of road, to del an air then a few grounds further up on the left, waiting at stop signs. Then to return about 45 min later to del the first air I could have delivered. Then I will head in the direction of my first stop that I did earlier.

I'm sure someone will come to me later and ask why I'm 10 miles over orions numbers.

Freaking whacked.

And this saves money?

Why not just del the air when you first drove by it? Am I missing something. Our center doesn't have Orion.

You are supposed to deliver the first stop according to Orion.

And you know that from experience or because you read it here?

This is part of the effort to try to reduce injuries. Stops on the floor tend to cause more injuries than those loaded within the power zone.

Because clogging an entire shelf up with one bulk stop and then cramming 30 residential stops onto the floor beneath it because there is nowhere else to put them is so much safer.

I'm reading off the script here.

That would make a great t-shirt!

That and the "how to run my route" sheets they tried to get us to fill out.

I only agree with Ron 's 1st sentence. Isn't it funny how they expect us to just hand them the keys. Gotta go thru me 1st. I'm not just giving them away. Well maybe if they buy me out. HANDSOMELY!!!

The main benefit I have seen so far since ORION was implemented in my center a couple of months ago is having the center manager and Onroads so tied up with endless reports they end up chasing their tail and have no time for the Petty BS that they always seemed to love before. ORION is a mere aggravation for me,but it seems to play absolute hell with the Operation Supes

I'm sure you know this but if your air stop on the right side is on the same street/road name as the air and ground stops you did first it's not a break. They may jumble them up, almost seems backwards sometimes if your driving back down that road later and those deliveries are on your right side now.
