In my center they turn orion off on all the split cars. It makes me laugh when they run up to me to say "make sure you just run EDD today. Your orion is off."

Is this for all drivers (vacation coverage & split routes), or just drivers with their own bid route every day only? We just got ODO installed in our boards this week & it's gonna need A LOTTA work on my route to be worth a hilla beans.

Today was Orion day 3 for me...
Ive been covering this route nearly as long as ive been a ft driver....I cant recall ever being much below 97 miles, yet today my projected miles was 90.
I ran 95.
The delivery area is fairly tight, so I see no possible way to justify a 5 mile difference. Or make up 5 miles.
I deld my ground with my 8 nda/ssi stops (no added miles to do seperate stops), then 3 bulk stops to clear the aisle (approx 1/2 mile total), then followed trace 100% after that, just as the Orion 'champion' told the bid driver to run it. (I sat in on their conversation last week. The bid driver didnt put up much of a fight, just said 'fine')
They have us filling out the sheet at the end of the day explaining our mileage discrepincies (ie why we suck at our jobs)...my response, on top of what I wrote in this post:
' Youre miles are way off.'
Im thinking the morning conversation should be fun

I run EDD at probably 30%. Orion might be an improvement.

So when your out destroying routes I won't feel sorry for you when your on layoff. My point is you have seniority and feel the need to show off. Why? The best advice I can give you is to work the routes for what they're worth and let the chips fall where they may. Save your money because you will need it.

Pees in the brown Koolaid
"Your miles are way off" should be the only thing you bother writing on that sheet. If they aren't happy with that response, then ask them to have the "ORION champion" put some browns on and actually demonstrate how to make the mileage come out according to plan. They wont do that, of course...its a lot easier to assign blame and write warning letters than it is to fix the underlying problems or refute the flawed assumptions.

Just hearing about all this Orion madness makes me happy that our center (Northbay in CA) doesn't have it. Which is crazy because they went through the trouble of spending 50 million and temporarily relocating an entire building of around the clock employees to other hubs and centers while they gutted the Northbay facility to install equipment to make it one of the most technologically advanced hubs. Yet they didn't implement Orion. All I have to say after reading this thread is thank God!

Orion has nothing to do with upgrading your hub.

I would think since they just spent all that dough automating the building that they would also implement this new high tech Orion system.

If you had someone riding with you who had one of those Orion tablets, it would probably show that Orion wants you making backs and k turns in a lot of spaces. (Which most of us usually don't do, especially in resis) and those constant k turns, rather than, say, driving around a block or to a nearby court, may cumulatively add up to those 5 miles. Maybe.
get on the list!!

They don't care about repercussions, they have a number to obtain ,and damnit they're gonna achive it!

They have to try and justify their billion dollar failure. They need to meet that ORION number on a piece of paper.
They don't care what it costs. As long as they meet that number, they will keep telling themselves that ORION works.
They see that this driver met the 85% and that he got the route done.
They don't care that he ran 10 extra miles and took an extra hour to do the job.
He met the 85% so ORION must be working......
UPS math, gotta love it.
Nooooo. That means us non-9.5 swingers have to come help you everyday.
