[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 595652, member: 484"] Kid You've not been reading. There are no problems with the standards, they are pretty much right on. Where the problem lies is the actual real world application of those standards. As has been posted, the standards for you are only as good as the preloader loaded your truck. They are only as good as that last minute split that dumped 35 stops on top of your first 5 bulk stops out the back. After all, moving those out of the truck to the dock several times before you have an area to load them to does waste time. I was lucky in that my loader has been with UPS since the early 80's. Maybe 5 misloads a year. And those are misloaded on the right truck, just wrong area. And usually done when management gets in his way and gripes at him. All these things affect the delivery day. They know it. To sweep it under the rug and change the allowances fixes the allowances, but still allows the time wasting cause to continue, but now without any indication there is a problem. So I understand not glossing the problem over by allowing that behavior to become the norm and give allowances for it. What I dont understand, and has not been addressed, is management's reaction to drivers that have a consistent problem breaking even on the standards, even when a sup rides with them to do audits on methods. Why are they beating us over the head with production, when 1, they are the root cause of part of the problem, 2, they have chosen not to adjust the time allowances to reflect that problem, 3 and they have also decided not to tackle the root cause of the problem either. Its just easier to beat the driver over the head. d [/QUOTE]
