Follow ORION 85% or....

[Box Ox]

Is it not corporate policy that orion is to be followed 100% unless a trace break is required to make air commit times? That along with human error is where the 85% on trace number comes from?

If 100% outside of air breaks were enforced at my center there'd be tons of commercial missed and send-agains daily. System does everything but account for the real world. And what makes sense.

Would be interested to know whether that's because of a creator/user disconnect or true technological limitations.

Nope.

We were told to go safety, service, orion in our decisions to run it

 

[dookie stain]

I think the highest percent I've run Orion was 82%.

 

[dookie stain]

And that was actually just RDO

Orion is just another obstacle to avoid. It needs to to be part of the DOKs. "What's in it, objects, ground, and Orion."

Until Orion has the same rules as drivers, it will be ineffective, inefficient, and add to "at risk behavior".

Most routes I do I run buisness and bulk how I want to. As long as I run the resi by trace I'm over 85%.

 

[KOG72]

75% trace 9 miles over nothing said they do not care unless you have a meathead as a ORS!!

 

[PASinterference]

Nothing better than shoving 100% up their rectums. I have a business plan too!

 

[ChrisTheBrown]

I run ODO until I get all of my airs off in the morning...Then run RDO the rest of the day.

To pretty much sum it up: UPS got ed over when they bought that piece of . We'll just never hear them admit it.

Can you be disciplined for having late air if you follow Orion 100% (sometimes it will have you deliver ground at the same delivery as the air) if your covering a route?

our center is 85%, a lot of drivers are doing like 75% but are beating the miles.

Yup.

 

[3838373]

Yup.

Warning letter?

Warning letter?

No. Something even worse than a warning letter.........

A day with Dave on car.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Warning letter?

Yup and a well deserved one at that.

One of the first things we are taught as a driver is to go through EDD to see what we have for committed air.

You laugh but they send new drivers with me to get a feel for the pace of this job.

Would this be on or off the clock?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Would this be on or off the clock?

Since Orion is normally not released in my center until after the PCM it would be on the clock.

Someone on here, (quite a while back), said it best:

"We work at a pace, that is unfamiliar to most people.
