Are "scratch" drivers looked down upon by other drivers?

[Catatonic]

Photog already admitted that time studies were just made up bs used to trick drivers into working off the clock.

Only in Upstate NY.

The scratch drivers in my building are usually the one ones who speed,run,work unsafely,skip lunch and pretty much kill themselves to be off the clock early. They are also the most vocal when it comes to not having a clue as to why their stop count keeps going up,and love to say things like " the company is screwing me" or They Treat people differently around here!"

they are usually pretty good entertainment in the mornings

The heroes in my center are good for morning comedy as well. I usually show up 2 minutes before start time but when I am running early they are good for a chuckle in the morning when you overhear some of the stuff they talk about. Nothing funnier then a couple runner gunners having a morning chat. That's only if they aren't up at the car massaging the load for free

Just for clarification, I was in IE for 10 years of my 40 year stint at UPS
UPS had nothing to do with "my life's work"
I worked at UPS for money and long-term financial stability

You seem a little agitated
Time to go twist one up and relax

Just goes to show how little you know about MTM, Work Measurement standards and the application thereof.
Of course, to be fair, there is no need for you to understand.
Carry on.

The guys that worry the most about the standards seem to be the same guys that say the only numbers they care about are on the paycheck.

I only worried about scratch or being under while qualifying. Now I make sure I work up to an hour over everyday.

Not me, paycheck is king.

I don't know as much about time studies as photog but I do know that load quality has nothing to do with it. The time allowance for package selection is a predetermined number it doesn't change regardless of whether you have a good load or a bad load. Time study just looks at external factors like speed limits, walking distance, elevator v
Yeahs stairs, etc.

The point is time studies not reflect reality;

A monthly average doesnt do for the guy getting screwed with "9 hour day" that takes 11 to complete because most of the packages are over 70s
