[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 318464, member: 927"] Trpl: First, I honestly have NEVER thought you and others are a "bunch of dumb truck drivers". There is no way that you could do the great job you do if you were not skilled and intelligent. There is no way our customers would love you so much without those skills. That being said, I'm not trying to argue for time study here. You are correct that there is not a variable for age. You are also correct that the allowances are based on averages. Therefore, the larger the group, the more the averages "average out". For instance, they are more accurate for a center total than an individual drivers. I was trying to point out that when it comes to dispatching, those inaccuracies are accounted for when we add in a driver's over / under allowed. In the example I mentioned, in order to hit the target dispatch of 9.40 hours, the planner should put 8.40 hours of "time studied" work on the car. I don't know if they are doing that in your center, but that is the method. If that were happening, don't you agree that that clears up the issue? P-Man [/QUOTE]
