New day for Orion

[ReLooped]

I found the best way to deal with orion was to go feeder lol.

 

[Mugarolla]

Could it be that they are using Orion 1.0 to work out the kinks before transitioning to Orion 2.0, which will include real-time manifest updating and turn by turn navigation?

That is exactly what they are doing. They are forcing 100% compliance expecting the centers to tweak it and get it right because their overallowed starts looking like crap.

Next will be ORION tied into the rear camera monitor. It will be a live GPS with voice guided turn by turn directions.

While they will not expect you to look at the screen while driving, you will be able to see where your next stop is before you begin moving.

And the voice navigation will guide you right to the next stop.

Come contract negotiation time, UPS will plop ORION and PAS down on the table.

UPS will tell the Teamsters "Any monkey can unload a truck. With PAS, any monkey can load a truck. With ORION, any monkey can deliver packages. Any contractor can pull a trailer."

"This is what we are going to give you. Take it or leave it."

While UPS might entertain some minor bargaining, the Teamsters will know that UPS has them right where they want them and the Teamsters have very little leverage left.

God help us all.

Whatever leverage they had left. They gave it away on this last contract.

They aren't working out any kinks.

They are demanding that we generate an arbitrary compliance metric so that they don't get chewed out by some empty suit on a conference call.

Empty suit on a conference call = lmao

Not likely.

You cant hear much of anything when you are in the cab of a diesel-powered package car driving down the road. And even if you could, ORION is useless when it comes to issues like traffic, bricked out package cars, misloads, or any of the other myriad of variables we face on a daily basis. Getting the package car to the GPS location of the next stop is only a small part of what we do. ORION wont help a driver figure out which dock to go to, which doors to use, where each apartment is, or how best to load a handcart in order to deliver to a high-rise building.

I don't care enough about their numbers to cut corners to meet some metric......you realize if you back into something while your car is in neutral, it's a rollaway accident? Terminable offense.....and yes telematics can prove it

How would telematics prove it if it can't even tell your backing?

Shows car in neutral at time of crash

And this is why the Teamsters still have a little bit of leverage left, but not much.

What happens at peak when our 7 and 8 sections are brought out at meets at 5pm ?

GPS. That always shows movement.

Either it's turned off or your not held accountable for the metric during peak. Further proof of its stupidity.

 

[toonertoo]

Mine was a monstrosity, yesterday. I pulled over after air, sent a msg to my manager, with a screen shot of the next 8 stops, do you want me to follow this crap? I shut it off, ran it the old way, in at 615, 7 miles over, instead of the usual 17-23.
Some days it is so screwed up I get a headache trying to follow it. Others I just say like Oh well, its a money maker.

......when you keep solving their problems.....it's only going to get worse

Got a chance to talk to my DM's boss yesterday. When I mentioned Orion he busted out the same line all the sups have been brainwashed with: "Orion has saved millions of dollars."

Repeat the lie. ORION saved millions. At the cost of billions.

 

[Mr.Golden]

These ppl a joke! Sups started applying back to 85% yesterday cause they this Orion system is fu.cked up!

During peak, the operational necessity of getting the packages delivered outweighs the need to pretend that ORION works, so they dont say anything about compliance.

I would love to see these numbers. I bet I could blow a massive hole through them in less than 30 minutes.

Best day for Orion is the day it gets thrown in the trash!
