[QUOTE="soberups, post: 849583, member: 14668"] P-man, I am not doubting you, and the 6 minutes figure you quote seems at least plausible. I [I]am[/I] wondering how this figure was arrived at and how it will be applied. I did an experiment and "timed" myself opening the door with the key. I then closed the door without latching it and "timed" myelf opening it [I]without[/I] the key. I found that not using the key saved me about 1.5 seconds every time I opened the door. If we round this figure up to an even 2 seconds, then in order to save 6 minutes I would have to open my bulkhead door 120 times per day. Is the 6 minute figure an average? Or is it based upon the number of stops done? And does it account for the fact that, in an apartment complex or a high-density residential area, the driver might pull [I]multiple stops [/I]out of the bulkhead door and deliver them from one park postion? I can see this being really unfair for rural drivers who dont do a lot of stops, or high-volume drivers who do a lot of work from one park position. There are lots of rumors and figures being thrown about. Do you know for a fact that it is indeed 6 minutes per driver, and can you shed some light on how this figure was arrived at? [/QUOTE]
