Orion is a joke for 2 reasons 1) it wants you to deliver packages from the 6000 shelf in between Next day airs before 1030. 2) it doesn't account for the myriad of OCA's and breaks you have to make to get bulk stops off at businesses that close before 5.

Yeah.......that can be done if you can get all the drivers that want to stand there and map out their entire route (OFF THE CLOCK!) out of the way.

Ain't that the truth but they have about 7 or 8 of those monitors in front of the office and maybe one or two are ever used...usually the same few drivers use them right after they beeline into the bldg and head for the stupid WOR ....lol

Honestly, I would forget half of the things I was trying to remember from looking at the screen

We now have some drivers wanting printouts of the maps on those computers. Flipping idiots. Now we're all going to be expected to run ORION at 90% or better.
Delivery!!!

Yet it will have you do a different ground only stop later during your nda run

Our BA said they can't discipline for not meeting a percentage metric. They tried. Every warning letter and write got tossed at local hearings.
Which set past practice. Now they just ask us to use it as a tool and make our judgements.

That's because it has you sneaking in residential stops from the 6,7, and 8,000 shelves while doing airs.

I tend to look through my PC in the morning checking out bulk & how far into the loop my resi section goes. The only time I look at the screen is when I get in each evening to see if I beat the miles running it my way from RDO. Supe said he doesn't care about trace as long as I beat the miles, so stuff it up your wazzoo, Oh Ryan.
I cant read a map,lol
I don't know why people make a huge deal about it. It's pretty simple.
Run Orion as its in your diad. If mgmt has issues ask them how you should run your route.
If they say you need to be 80 or 85%, you ask them. ..how do I know I'm 85%? I don't see anything in the diad showing my current percentage.
Then run it again stop for stop, if they mention it again, stating you're taking too long or whatever... call the 1800 number.
They will fix it or tell you not to use it. You people need to put this back on them, especially if they are asking you to do deliver by a known failure of a method

Yeah..when it's 95 degrees at 9:54am and your first stop is looking for two QVC ground packages in the 7400 section that is buried in a load that is inaccessible, it's really a bit disturbing.

Don't know if this has been touched on or not.
Does anybody's Orion factor is businesses? It seems pointless that it doesn't since many times you have to break trace to cherry pick these. For ex. Post office closes at 430. Orion has me getting there at 545. Doesn't really fly

You could have your dispatch supervisor enter in a closing time for that post office. But no, UPS does not use the massively collected data and apply closing times to all businesses.
The more information that Orion has the longer that it takes to come up with an optimum solution. So if Orion has not had the time to settle before EDD has been released, its output is garbage. So openly UPS tells you that Orion has all of these awesome capabilities, but secretly they don't like to use them too much.
