Dumb Things Mgmt or L.P. has told you, only to later have to backtrack on

[FrigidFTSup]

Are you sure?

Metaphysics aside........isn't it because the computer needs a point of reference from which to orient and base/start all other algorithms from?

The computer uses the center as a starting point. They gave us numbers when we first got ORION. If someone goes to the first stop on ORION their trace is likely to be so many more % points higher than the guy who goes somewhere else. I can't remember the exact number but it was significant.

didnt have a cellphone pass for years because management said i had no good reason to have a cellphone inside the hub, now they say its good i have
my cellphone with me so they can call me when my belt stops or theres a jam.
samething as first one LP took forever to give me a pass since they dont want to many ppl having cellphones inside the hub now they hand them out to
ppl that havent even passed probation.
i cant move to another area because i dont have enough seniority or not enough room, they get new hires for that area because they need ppl for that area.

Do you complete the stops in the board?

Every day

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Sounds similar to the fraud UPS commits by continually issuing Dish Netwok call tags, even though they send a return label in every box. They pay for it, so let's hush & keep their $. It ain't right, plus it's a pain in all of our butts!

UPS is simply doing what Dish Network wants them to do. There is nothing fraudulent about that.

 

[UpsYours]

Dish Network is using UPS drivers like a bad debt collector when we knock on the door wanting their equipment back. Easy stop. NR 1.

then ni2 and ni3. and even if you get someone at the stop they say that they dropped off at ups store already with ars tags

I always try to get them to cancel it the first attempt. I don't want to go back if I don't have to.

Do it twice and get the miles. More miles = less stops (in theory anyway, probably no difference in a large center). Several guys in our center do that, management knows and does nothing.

I had an OJS one day on a route, where you have to go to this same building three different times, for three different commit times. Two to the same suite.

I went there all three times within the +-15 minute window...

Supervisor just about flipped his wig, "Why didn't you just do them all at once when you went here the first time?"

"Oh, that's what's called 'Pickup compliance.' Something you specifically instruct us to follow. Don't like it? Then YOU fix it."

And that was the end of that lol

It's called "Working as Instructed." You should try it sometime, instead of cutting corners and doing what you want to.

I can assure you, following the methods I haven't been hit by any cars.

Classic. I wish I had 100 clones of you when I was in Package.

...or maybe ORION uses the center (point 1) and the first stop (point 2) to triangulate the next and subsequent stops?

"triangulate" is my big word for today.

That is correct, the center is the origin point

 

[Tired Driver]

Apparently, the management people who text me and call me on my cell phone for work issues are unaware of the rule that supposedly prohibits us from having cell phones in the cab or using them on company time.

The solution to that problem is DO NOT USE YOUR PHONE FOR UPS. I never answer mine useless it is from my Steward. Not for Drivers or Management.

My cell phone is just another tool that I use to get my job done. It is my choice whether I wish to use it for work, not yours.

Right, which would maybe work if the optimization worked in real time and updated after every stop.

But this system does not work as it is setup now, navigation code would need detailed algorithms ( which I think is almost impossible due to the amount of code needed) that accurately map out roadways and not have one stop on one side of a turnpike as stop 1 and stop 2 on the other side of the turnpike when you have to drive 2 to 3 miles to get to the other side.

I just figured it has to do with time allowance in ODO vs. RDO. Seems like an awfully big hard on for the first stop when they know drivers aren't following it.

I don't appreciate this image...black lives matter!

 

[trickpony1]

No one said black lives didn't matter.

If "black lives" would quit doing stupid stuff like assaulting police officers and aiming airsoft guns at law enforcement, they wouldn't get shot.

Rocket science, I know.

Promulgate.

You promulgated triangulate, thanks!
