Case closed.
....For those in rural areas, ORION err's will not affect you in the same way as a metro center. You may not even feel the mistakes.

Trust me, ORION is just as bad on a rural route as it is on an urban one...i have saved up to 30 miles by turning it off.
That's the problem, Orion puts us in a no win situation unless you "cooperate" ....
Just to clarify I would prefer to be hit on my bottom.I think it's more of a no win situation. If I don't follow Orion I am not working as instructed....lose. If I follow Orion I spend more time at risk and away from my family....lose. It puts mgt in the posistion that they can either punch you in the nose or kick you in the ass, either way you lose.
YesIs the mudslide close to your part of the world?
Its about 4 hours north of me. Pretty horrific. Im praying for those people.Is the mudslide close to your part of the world?
Not sure how this will work with my route since most of the time due to bulk rear door and floor stops and can't even access most of shelves 5-6-7-8 until a little after lunch
It probably WONT work.Not sure how this will work with my route since most of the time due to bulk rear door and floor stops and can't even access most of shelves 5-6-7-8 until a little after lunch
Wow u play along just like they want huh.If Orion wants me to select a buried package early in the day and there's no way to get to it, I just do a "not find". I write that stop down so I don't forget it and deliver later when I'm back in the area. No way in hell I'm killing myself and digging that package out.

NO manager wants to be the first to jump on the grenade that will be a grievance for not following ORION. In an arbitration, the manager would have to admit that the program fails at 100% to perform the job in the best interests of the company. This is required by contract. All employees must "act in the best interests of the business". Article 37 clearly grants this obligation upon the employees.
Now, in an arbitration, the company wants to discipline a driver for failure to follow ORION. The employee counters that in his/her experience, ORION does not work in the best interest of the route, customers or the business, and in the drivers analysis using ORION would hurt the business.
The company would then have to demonstrate that ORION does in fact work better than the driver can perform the route on his own.
Of course, we all now know that ORION fails and the company reduced its expectations to 85% compliance. This in itself is an admission that it doesnt work.
Those drivers who have experienced ORION so far, can tell you that following ORION only puts you way behind, has you doubling back on streets you would have finished on one pass, has you leaving streets incomplete to cross town a couple of miles and at the end of the day, increases miles and does not save miles.
An Arbitor can look at payroll/WOR just as easy as a manager can, and he can tell the difference between production and going in the hole. An arb can look at "TRACE" or planned day and it can be established that a route is clusterblasted from the jump in the morning.
kind of along that same line, has anyone yet filed grievances AGAINST orion or is anyone's local trying t fight it?? mine was looking into it, but haven't heard anything lately ..
Any two bit business agent could demonstrate that stops are being missed causing delays using all the companys tools.
An arb would easily rule that ORION does not allow the driver to comply with article 37 "acting in the best interests of the company".

yep. We arent paid to manage the route,be efficient, satisfy customers etc. any longer .You want me to unload half the truck onto the street?
