[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 849626, member: 927"] Sober, I'm not 100% sure, but.... The 6 minutes MUST be an average. The savings has to be based on the number of stops with an average of 6 minutes per driver. Anyone who says this means 10 stops is wrong. Again on average, 6 minutes is 2 or 3 more stops. I honestly do not know if the 6 minutes is derived from time studies or if its derived from actual observances. I do know this though... They have been testing this for a long time. Some drivers have been using it for years. If they did their job right, they can back up the number from actual observations and results. Contrary to what many may think, there are many groups in UPS that challenge things like this. They would want proof that its a good thing. Whoever came up with this is requesting many 10's of millions of dollars from the management committee. They would have to prove that its worthwhile. So, I don't know the specifics on how they calculated the 6 minutes, but as I said, it must be an average. Your original post was about installing it in an old car. The math I did showed that if the 6 minutes holds true, on average it will pay for itself in about 6 months. At least on this board, it seems that drivers that have it like it. I take that as a good sign. [/QUOTE]
