[QUOTE="Jones, post: 606179, member: 4805"] If that's the case then I guess we just disagree. I was a gunner for my first 6 or 7 years, in part because I thought making a lot of bonus was the mark of a "good" driver and was more important than taking my breaks and doing the job right. I "knew" the methods, but I didn't really use them and consequently wasn't very good at them and thought they were just a hassle. I wised up eventually, like most drivers do, and I can honestly say that it makes my day a lot easier. It's been a long time since I made any bonus (though the truth is that time studies took care of most of that), but I'm a lot less stressed out and I feel a lot better physically at the end of the day. Most of the guys I talk to in my center feel the same way. The only drivers I hear talking about how difficult the job becomes when they use the methods are the gunners who have this weird idea that doing the job correctly is a way to punish the company whenever they get mad about being given a split. Some guy who normally runs an hour under comes in two hours over (because he got a 10 stop split), and when the boss asks him what happened he says "took his lunch and followed the methods". If you really believe that explanation I've got a bridge to sell you :wink2: [/QUOTE]
