[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 651172, member: 18044"] Do you believe in some Cosmic Force that balances out the driver's day? For every slow-down in the morning, there's an offsetting speed-up in the afternoon? If a driver were traveling the speed limit, I believe various traffic situations might slow him down, but I don't believe any could speed him up, as he is already going the legal limit. This is just one example to illustrate that there is no Cosmic Force balancing things out. If you have ever taken a course in statistics you know that three rides is not a valid sample, especially for a job that occurs outside where so many factors are beyond anyone's control. Every day is different, and that's especially true now with add/cuts, splits, and routes being cut. Even a valid OJS (if there is such a thing) would soon become invalid over time as the seasons change and the route changes. You'll also note that I said the ideal conditions under the OJS ride were [U]artificially[/U] created, not the usual day-to-day circumstances. If UPS wants those better numbers, they need to "massage the load" and make the other changes every day, just as they do on the OJS days. [/QUOTE]
