Didn't James P. H*ffa say that in his election speech?

My ORION guy said not to worry about compliance. Just
Stop complete when you're there. I've been doing that and no one at my center has said a word to me.

One mgmt could "change" and one it can't. It will be nice if Orion can be used for integrity issues.

Tuesday I ran Orion 98.9% and was 20 miles over.
Wednesday I ran Orion 98.1% and was 39 miles over.
Thursday I ran Orion 84.3% and was 28 miles under.
Clearly it doesn't work on my area. Got a message from dispatch supervisor on Friday instructing me NOT to run Orion any longer.

The "upgrade" put my first pu last, made it at 430, instead of 3, they close at 4. Made it a smart pick up, when they dont print the label. So it cannot be. They told me they cannot unsmart a smart pick up.
Wednesday an eam was missed, because the stop came out, sup and other driver on my route that day.
I put it on the center manager, it was no big deal an eam got missed, and the shipper called and complained.
If it had been me it would have been a very big deal.
I only fault the system, not the sup or driver that missed it, and the fact that the info i gave them, did no good, and it wont be fixed.

85% is the goal in my center. You clearly demonstrated that you can meet that goal AND save miles. Orion DOES work on your area.

Fridays report will show that I ran around 50% and saved even more miles. How does that show Orion works on my area?

No, it shows the driver saves the miles, not ORION.

It doesn't work. I never hit 85% and if I were to follow Orion I'd be out an extra 3 hrs every day. Dispatcher can't even fix it. So what's the point ??

The point is that overall, Orion, when used as a tool (which means not followed 100%), does work.

Isn't 100% Orion supposed to be the optimum way to run a route with the fewest miles?

I agree. It'll never be 100% on my route. Dispatcher can't even fix it

I had an Orion ride on Wednesday and it clearly DOESN'T work as intended. He had the Orion tablet that wanted me to drive on walking paths. My backs are through the roof because of Orion turn arounds.
It does not give me mileage credit for long driveways.
Yes, some changes were made, but it was clear that a one day ride is simply not enough to correct all the problems.
I agree with Hefferan. Orion should be a tool, not a result.

Lets end this Orion debate once and for all.
As a driver:
Follow the methods 100%
Be safe
Make your airs and commits
Take care of your pick ups correctly
Get your business stops off first part of day
Run all your resi stops in Orion.
Do all this and don't worry about their new gimmicks and toys. Take care of safety and the customer and management usually won't have a leg to stand on.
If you're a long time bid driver, you're probably already doing this.
If you're a swing driver, you should try this on every route you swing

One day my Orion is decent and I can hit a little above the 85%. But then the next day it's back to being way off. After talking to the dispatcher over and over and trying to fix it , I just gave up. It's like we start all over every day.
