They arent effective on a lot of routes. Mine runs a lot more miles than most, so the consequences of ORION's forced stupidity get magnified to an intolerable degree. On a 50 mile route you can be stupid and still get done; on a 150-mile route you cant.
Is your route a satellite route?
No, its just one of the higher-mileage rural routes in our building. We have a few that do up to 200 miles. The underlying problem with my ORION has to do with the flawed map that was used as well as the fact that mine was the last route in the building to be done, with my last ride done after the rest of the team had already moved on to the next building. The problems were identified but never corrected.
Huh? Not how it works.
Probably not. Most guys these days just spend their time complaining about more work, but still clock out early.
Usually my deliveries are done before my 30ish pick ups (with my 10 min. paid & 20 min. unpaid breaks, thank you). [emoji3] This last week was a driver's nightmare as far as dispatch went! Routes slashed like no other. Drivers getting stuff on their bid routes not even close to their area. Stop counts 30+ too high. Veteran drivers getting ready for day 3 of 9.5 asked to take the day off, so newer drivers could be dispatched ridiculously. There have been a couple of ORION tablet jockeys in the hizzy working their magic the last couple of weeks. I think they're trying to max out every route, aka having them all get in right at the time the air truck needs to leave the center for the night. Have fun standing around then getting slammed local sort!
Not this guy! Not 1 of their guys that will go faster on Friday just 'cause it's Friday, either! friend--- that noise!
