[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 459976, member: 10234"] SPORH, in my opinion, is the most inaccurate way to measure a drivers performance. As previously stated, every element associated with the job has an effect on this number. Miles, load condition, average pkgs per stop, CODs, weather, add/cuts, etc. The most accurate measure was the over/under. I say was because there was a time when that measurement was fair. With additions such as the diad and PAS/EDD, time was taken away from the time-studied measurement based on inaccurate and overly-optimistic assumptions of time savings. Now, it is more or less a joke. It would take a realistic time-study to bring these numbers into line. Seeing as that will most likely never happen, I would make these suggestions. Document everything! With digital cameras being fairly inexpensive, buy one. Take pictures of your load before going out on production rides. Take pictures of your load every day after that. Keep track of miles driven, number of CODs, weather conditions and all other pertainent elements of the job. It may seem like overkill, but it may one day save your job. It's a shame that it has come to this. But we seem to be living in a CYA world. It may be the price you have to pay when your compensation is above the national average. [/QUOTE]
