When you switch to Orion you still have room to do some things your way but driving somewhere orion says you're not supposed to isn't one of them.

Yeah, but Dave has a little over a year before he has to suck up and toe the line.

Too early in the morning for shouting.

We don't have Orion here (yet) but what will happen if you edit your stop adding the pick up pieces when Orion thinks you should be doing something else?

When you're on orion there is no more I drive this way or that way everyday except your pickups. If you have to go past there for pickups you might be able to pull it off but not the days the orion engineer rides with you...and if its like even an eighth of a mile driving across a plaza to get there its no bueno.
Orion had me do retarded stuff and when I asked the Orion engineer about it he showed me on the map where it saved 50 feet. You read that correctly 50 FEET.
Once your center passes the orion tests and they go away if you can keep your mileage down you can still probably do what you want but if your route is one that has no way of coming close to the mileage they claim then you'll be scrutinized daily.
I had a route where I could beat the mileage so I could do whatever I wanted. I also ran a route where no matter what I did I couldn't come close to hitting the orion miles and I was watched like a hawk. On another route the orion dispatch was so similar to the EDD trace that I could leave orion off all day and still be about 92% to Orion.
Just my personal experience, there is a learning curve with the Smart Pickups that some individual employees of the shipper will have a difficult time with. The original employees might have all the kinks worked out and then they go on vacation, get moved out of shipping, or are no longer employed at the shipper... it can be an invitation for a frustrating disaster. As I understand it, it is worse if the unfamiliar employee is not paying attention to which boxes they are and aren't checking during the process.

Do yourself a favor-----go to Google maps and look up Consumer Square Plattsburgh NY. When you get to the overview you will see Staples to the right, Walmart in the middle and Gamestop to the left. I do the pickups at both Staples and Walmart (Vision) so you can see that I drive right by Gamestop on my way out of the plaza.
The sad part is that I feel as though I have to explain myself to a bunch of strangers on an anonymous Internet forum knowing full well that I will continue to take care of this customer regardless of whether I warrant your approval or not. They appreciate it, it makes my life a bit easier and my mgt team is OK with it-----that's the only approval I really need.

Made some ribs and corn on the grill last night. Washed them down with a couple of Blue Moons. That will get rid of all brown problems.

Are all game stop deliveries guaranteed by noon or is that just a local thing?
