[QUOTE="Pkgrunner, post: 816372, member: 7207"] One glaring variable which I assume that all time studies overlook is the package car itself. Not all cars are equal, as we all know. Since the implementation of PAS/EDD, it has become more difficult to have the right car for all the different types of delivery areas. The majority of the delivery area I now service(are we still allowed to use that word?:wink2:), was last "physically" time studied in a p32. The virtual time study was conducted when the area was serviced in a p57. That entire "route" has since been permanently eliminated and consumed by my route. Unfortunately, I am in a p7 which is nowhere near as nimble as a p32 or p57, yet the time standards set by the two former vehicles in their time studies remains in place. I am essentially driving a school bus on golf-cart sized roads now. To add insult to injury, the 90ish stops I got pushed onto lost 50 virtual minutes; while the 90 or so stops I got pushed off of gained 15 virtual minutes. [/QUOTE]
