My supervisor believes "ORION is just another tool to help drivers do their jobs". Unless we are constantly running over on hours or miles, they don't address it any.
It's needs a lot of work anyway, especially dispatch doing their part. Basic Saturday plan:
ORION leave building time 8:10, start time 8:30, actual leave building time 8:50 if I can get others to move their trucks.
Last air planned to be delivered at 11:48. 40 minutes behind plan before even starting so ORION plan now has last air at 12:28. Late air or break trace.
8:30 planned delivery or businesses that don't open until 10:00. More breaking trace to backtrack, which puts further behind.
"Residential" stops for assisted care homes now are going to get delivered after security leaves at 5:00. More breaking trace to jump ahead, then backtracking for stops skipped.
Final outcome: 10 hour plan takes 12+ hours if trying to follow ORION.
On a normal day it's run straight air plus any nearby commercial I can find that's not in my main commercial area (very small) until 10. Go to main commercial area and run all commercial there and air. Stop and spend 45 minutes to reload every single package in the truck. Run of any schools plus what commercial is near them. Lunch before 1 if possible, always before 2. Deliver whatever section of my route still has commercial. Then what section is next to that, and so on..
