Yep doesn’t matter to me because I didn’t pick them up. I do however see them and they told me it was inconvenient for them lol.

its just a calculator; if you don't like the solution, the PDS can change the inputs
you have a bad PDS

Let’s start TSP the week of prime week and max vacation weeks in the calendar year. Like I said, some areas/centers that are properly staffed and don’t have 25 percent of there trucks red tagged it might work…..otherwise not happening!

orion is just a miles reduction calculator at its heart; you can adjust how aggressive you want it to be using parameters
every bad solution i've ever seen was either caused by a
map or parameters, both are the PDS fault

He’s full of it. He’s one of those guys that talks a good game, but could never do it himself.
You have to have the people and the tools to implement the plan, neither of which the PDS controls.

I believe ourTSP was supposed to start this week. Instead nothing was said about it. And we had two drivers quit, and we were already down drivers. They have numerous routes sitting every Saturday because they’re do not have enough Saturday drivers and they try to force everyone and they don’t show up. It’s a complete show never seen anything like it.

Sorry it was a long night

Deranged lunatic
the sane dispatches were last week. This week was the wringer. Not a single word about TSP, they know better than to bring it up here, most PCMs are already mock-theatre.

You are almost correct, there are a couple of other factors that figure in.
The true problem is that there is not enough time for the PDS to do all the things required for a successful dispatch everyday. Yes they may fix it in one plan for one day, but it does not carry over into any other plans, you then have to copy it into every plan to make it work.
Lets not forget when you add or move an area from a route it changes Orion solution (sometimes) and you would have to either leave the parameters the same or change them. Last but not least..dynamic Orion....and you know what happens after that.
Enjoy your weekend.

Good info. Although I would remind you that it’s very difficult for Many to enjoy the weekend when they do not have one or are threatened with discipline because they will not make it for a sixth punch. Weekends are destroying this company.

What do you mean? Not being able to have enough drivers show up to run routes and when they do the company loses money in the process. Thought that was the plan all along since that is all it's ever been.

I’m not sure they planned on losing drivers the way they are. And this rate we will not being close to Staffing for peak

It used to be a very rare occurrence for a driver to just quit it’s becoming common now.
How can you hire a new driver at $20.50 an hour when McDonald's is paying $22 an hour...
Let's see how many people jump on this job before we go on strike next year....
Just not the new drivers guys with five six seven eight years I can't do this anymore
I'm not going to ruin my life putting up with this BS
You're 100% correct
