Yeah, usually the load will adjust itself the first time you hit a curb or pothole. But not to your benefit.
Better change your handle to no more than 10.lol
Just do your job the way you know it needs to be done. The ORION person in many cases will be a temporary subcontractor, not an actual UPS management person. They are going to do what they are going to do regardless of whether it makes any sense or not, so there is no point in worrying about the outcome. They dont care if the finished product works or not, they only care about completing the implementation as fast as possible and moving on to the next implementation site.
I m not a country driver. My co workers who do have it usually beat it by 40miles a day. Because breaking form one section to the next is only one break. And then its pretty good to run in trace.
There's a lot of room in your truck for a forty stop resi section though...that might slow you down some.
Look at the bright side.
Toon, don't miss commercial stops or have late air. You don't need to stress out any more than you already are. Skip resis to make service. It's not working on your route, which if I remember they added work to your route after Orion was put in?
That's 34 minutes and 59 seconds longer than I used it......
No....and even if they did listen, they would not understand since they have never done the job themselves.
Of course not!
We have a couple rural satellite routes and they are about the same. I looked at their dispatches before and after and their over/under and they've stayed in the same ball park. But they also do a lot less stops and a lot more miles. Ours average about 75 stops, 130 pieces and 245 miles a day. A big downfall though is how breaking trace affects your percentage. Our in town guys can break trace for a couple stops and it affects their percentage very little since they have 135+ stops. If you break it with 75 stops you get a much bigger hit. The only good side is it usually is much easier to save miles on rural routes.
