[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 318438, member: 13254"] First of all, I want to say I do appreciate you taking the time to try to explain all this to a bunch of dumb truck drivers. Thank you. Here is a snippet from one of your later posts: I think this is what most drivers have a problem with when it comes to time studies. From what I have been today in the past (again this may not hold to the truth) Is what it takes to make that 8.75 day is inflated to a near impossible standard using the proper work methods. From what we have always been told, the time alloted to stop the package car, open bulkhead door, select package, drop package, return to truck, start moving again is based on a national average with consideration given to the average walk time for deliveries in a given area. Again according to what we have been told, there are many other factors taken in to add to the formula (some of which I probably have never heard before). I don't intend to try to pick apart time studies on here simply because there isn't enough time or space to take that task on. Let's just say that I don't feel that the time studies/allowances of today properly reflect how much time reality dictates it should take to get the job done. I bet there isn't a space on the time study sheet that the age of the driver is part of the calculations. [/QUOTE]
