If people don't like it they can all go friend* themselves sideways and their mother too

Him have a bad day?
Him not in a good mood?

Pretty sure I’m a 9.5 list and my only light day is when I’m not working

Oh where to begin... talk to your drivers. Talk to the on road sups. Yell at the manager. Use your pt pds. Sleep. Keep good snacks. Hide your good pen. Good luck on the new scorecard it’s a joke.

Keep a notebook and take some notes.

Another solution that makes me more money. I'll play the game until the money runs out. These deekheads will never learn. 5 years and y'all can have this circus.

Basically takes your dispatch and "enhances" it further. Loop boundaries are no more. Pickups are fair game. It will attempt to dispatch ground stops where there is a random air stop. Problem is, it doesn't assign it properly in the RDO so usually the air ends up in the 1000 shelf, while that ground stop is in your 7000s.

In addition it will also move sequences with no stops assigned to it just in case something comes in unforecasted. To top it all off, it takes about 40 minutes for the roads tool to do its thing. And then the PDS needs to double check what it did to make sure nothing is goofy. So you're looking at needing to have your dispatch plan done at least an hour prior to the preload.

Once it's done, you'll get an excel spreadsheet that tells you what sequences and addresses it moved. So unless you know every route in and out,, it makes it hard to quickly double check. No map overlay of the routes to give you a quick glance of before and after.. Your PDS will be really happy about having to come in even earlier depending on what building you work at.

If you have any pickup times that are wrong, LBT or anything else that could create wait time, it will attempt to eliminate that and move random stops. Best thing you can do is make sure you plans are pristine to get it to make as few of moves as possible.

There is an exclusion tool that you'll get so you will have the ability to select certain routes not to get looked at, but just like with everything, if you exclude too much, you'll hit a report. The one nice thing is planned bulk stops (assigned to a shelf or floor location) won't get touched.

I love it.

Once again, you guys get to screw up everything you get your hands on. Go ahead and blame the driver for the failure. Just pay me.

P.S. thanks for Orion 3.0 and the constant itinerary changes. $$$

sounds amazing...as quoted earlier.

Sounds like Orion on steroids' we have lost our damn minds.

It must be truly “amazing” to have these two agree on anything...

Lol, these dispatch clowns think they have power? Complaining customer can undo anything they try.

Oh it's a freaking joke. Scrambles the route every 15 minutes. I'd hate to know I was a new driver trying to qualify. I know it's out of operations management's hands, but corporate is dumb as a sack full of hammers.

It's not the end of the world and I'm sure as they roll out more sites it will get better. Orion in itself is much better than it used to be. There were so many parameter options to adjust, nobody understood it. For the most part now, orion can take a crappy rdo and clean it up. Hopefully the same happens with this.

I like your optimism, I hope you are right.
