[QUOTE="soberups, post: 849683, member: 14668"] A driver who averages 15 SPORH is completing a stop every 4 minutes, so you could theoretically justify adding 1.5 stops per day to this driver by equipping his car with keyless entry. In order to justify adding 2 or 3 stops, you would have to average between 17.5 and 20 SPORH and on my center at least there are very few routes where such a pace is even remotely possible. I dont doubt for a minute that keyless entry will make the job "easier"....but if it results in [I]my[/I] bid route being eliminated and me busting my butt on [I]someone elses[/I] overdispatched route at 8:30 on a 100-degree August evening, I can tell you that I probably will [I]not[/I] "like" it. Its not the new equipment itself that concerns me....its the typical UPS fuzzy math that concerns me. One other thing; it would be nice if those who sold the Management Committee on this new equipment would consider doing a comparison test on new vehicles vs. the old ones with high steps and no power steering. I can tell you from personal experience that working out of a [I]modern[/I] vehicle saves over an hour per day on a given route compared to doing the same work out of an old "iron maiden". [B]The same logic that was used to justify the expense of keyless entry could easily be applied to taking the old cars out of service and immediately replacing them with modern ones[/B]. [/QUOTE]
