It does that when I'm posting on the full site on phone for me too.

I quit asking. They know exactly how much work you have left and exactly where you are. If they want to send me out to miss business, so be it.

I get to run my route my way because Orion is a joke! I beat Orion every day sometimes by 10 miles. Orion had me crossing divided highways. Real safe

Hey just curious, did management tell you to run it your way? Curious if management in your area realize it's a joke. I don't blame you, some of the stuff I've seen and heard makes no sense. Passing stops to run stops, to come back to stops, stupid.

If we are being instructed to generate a meaningless number, we need some way to determine whether or not we are doing so throughout the day.
As drivers, we work in the real world and we dont have time to be performing mental math all day in order to jump through some ORION weenie's hoop.
The company has two options; brain "on" or brain "off". I can do my job as efficiently as possible while adjusting to real-world conditions, or I can go into "drone" mode and be 100% compliant even if the route fails as a result. I dont have the time, the math ability or the mental energy to waste on trying to generate a meaningless compliance metric. I have an actual job to do.

Peak is over? Someone should let my center know.
I started at 1:50 this morning.
And, over the last week, I've been averaging 1,100 pieces a day loading 3 cars.

. We are supposed to run. 90% trace, but as long as we come under the miles they don't care. Orion is all about saving miles.

I think that's kind of funny. They are all about orion and how it will save money, and time. Yet they tell u on to run it and you can run it better than their system.

Tell the customer if they have a problem with it, speak up now while the ride is going on. Don't wait 2 weeks and then gripe about it.

I'm a cover driver.
I sort of can't wait till we get ORION; it's Keystone-Kops already, I can't imagine what implementing ORION will do for this clown-car set-up.
I feel bad - the members of my management team are more or less stand-up guys who try to do the right thing, even when their hands are tied behind their backs.
I'm going to feel embarrassed for them when they instruct me to back up in a driveway after years of telling me not to ever back up in a driveway.
It is what it is.

Sounds to me there will potentially be a big increase in the time spent backing, which could no doubt lead to a substantial increase in cost of damage to ups vehicles or customers property...
I will work as directed, but if its an option of making service & commit times for the people i see EVERYDAY or failing the route, it will be the former.

I think it is easier coming in as a new driver, less thinking. Remember when we actually had to sort our truck.

Are you not amused?
I understand that thinking and I cant say I haven't thought about it. My problem is I like my customers and they depend on us, I still care aobut them. My problem is UPS just doesn't anymore that is the sad part.
Oh well they can always go to FedEx maybe they care I don't know how UPS thinks upsetting customers is good long term business.

So Orion person in charge now comes up to me this AM and says " you know the odometer on your truck is wrong,right?"
( was 24 miles over yesterday) I said well when the Orion trainer rode with me that's what they said after the first ride. So we checked it on the second ride to and from first and last stop dead on. Person says well I'm saying its wrong by up to 10 miles a day. I just say well whatever and walk off. What a joke. Just admit your million dollar program isn't always right!!!!!
