Hell even when I started and we had the diad 3 I would say it was barely ready for prime time.
Even now we deal with things like poor battery life and inability to do things like scan the smart barcode n

The 3 was particularly bad. Mostly just a 2 inside but they tried to get it to do more than it was really capable of so it was as slow as hell.

If only the implementation was this easy off paper. Too many lazy dispatchers as well as customers that are indecisive "We''re closed this Friday, but not the next one, oh wait, it's this Friday we're open" and drivers that try to juggle all their customers changing schedules as well as dispatchers that move the same business to a different route each day like he's playing some kind of sick twisted UPS version of Three card Monty and varying degrees of caring by drivers and you can see the issues.

The list would obviously be a lot longer on Saturday; however, I think once businesses realize that we are open for business on Saturday, they may start to do the same.

Couldn't have been worse than the ORION implementation. Would rather stick needles in my eyes than go through that again.

It was not the customers who were the problem.
As Tony said, older people tend to resist change. The older drivers were adamant about not wanting to make the move while the younger drivers like me embraced the change.

Hey I'd imagine they'll need a mechanic there on Saturday too in case of any breakdowns.

I like telling the younglings about having to carry three sometimes four clipboards at a time. They say "for what"? So when one neighborhood changed to a different area number (insert deer in headlights look).....huh?
That was seamless here Dan. As a matter of fact, we got a better time allowance for a while.

My bosses have to be going nuts. Since Orion the 9.5 list has went from 15% of drivers to about 80%
Some smaller centers have too few management and too much falls on those people, leading to less important tasks (in the eyes of that supervisor in the context of everything that sup has to accomplish that day) such as known closures not getting done.
And this leads to drivers being pissed that things that they (the drivers) try to do to help the company are ignored or not implemented and this leads to a general attitude of not giving a
