[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 233745, member: 9789"] Got to agree with you on that one. The only mgmt folks that agree with the allowances are the IE folks. I was always at odds with them. When it comes to numbers and production - a fair mgmt person will get out and ride with the driver or route in question. If it takes 3 rides or whatever to come up with the right performance than the route or driver is held to that performance level. If the manager gets on the car and verifies the best demonstrated performance and it does not meet the allowance. The driver has nothing to fear. As a supervisor (way back in the stone age) I had a driver that was 1.5 hours in the hole daily - The center was underallowed so he stood out like a sore thumb. He knew the methods and was the perfect example of what is "by the book". It took awhile, but we finally got a TS and he was close to scratch after the TS. I did my job and he did his job and nobody ever lost their job because of it. There was a lot of pressure on both of us!!! He always met his best demonstrated performance. In the last few years, there have been a lot of advances that can be analyzed without getting on the car. It is hard for a driver to hide a performance problem and allowances can be fine tuned using the same technology. [/QUOTE]
