He thinks UPS can cut salaries and hire anyone off the street to deliver packages with Orion 6.9....lol He believes Everything they tell them. I wonder if the 1st glass of kool- aid taste the same as the last....or was really kool-aid? Yea they told us 30 years ago fedx couldn't remain in Buisness. ...and let's don't forget "delivering our Future " that lasted every bit of 2 weeks.. I believe the feeder drivers start rumors at corporate to see how many ideas they will pass down.
Maybe not with Orion 6.9, but it will get there. Automation is where the future is headed. There are large teams of people with years and years of on road experience watching the system and making corrections. It's already better on a majority of routes.
The people here like to post their outliers where they can do better. The system will learn, be refined, and get better too.
You're going to hang your hat on some crackpot told you FDX would be out of business 30 years ago and he or she was wrong, as the basis for your arguments? You're reaching.
If you don't think any of this will happen - go look at any hub smalls sort with our next generation sort logic (NGSS). There are no load charts. Flows can change daily, and NO ONE handling the packages knows what they are, or needs to. The sorter scans a package, and the bin where it should go lights up.
