EAT MY OVERALLOWED

I'm not sure that your analysis of the statistics are necessarily accurate.
I agree with you that if three rides are given with high variability; lets say 20.2 SPORH, 9.7 SPORH, and 12.2 SPORH. The average of the three is 14 SPORH. The high standard deviation of these samples makes determing a true average to variable. If the driver begins performing at 12 SPORH without supervision that is certainly within the error range and therefore inconclusive.
On the other hand, I do three rides with 14.1 SPORH, 13.9 SPORH, and 14.0 SPORH. I now have a low variability. If the driver without supervision delivers at 12 SPORH, we now have a large difference. I have seen the above example many times.
Again, why is this not a fair way to evaluate performance?

Because this isn't scientific, no matter how much you claim it is or try to make it out to be. There are many, many variables in a day on the road besides X, Y and Z. Driving a truck and driving a desk are two worlds apart, it all looks so easy on paper. The reality of doing it everyday, not for 3 days but for thousands of days is the world we live in. Most of the time someones SPORH dipping is the dispatchers own fault, usually by add/cutting the wrong areas. I know my SPORH goes down every time the brilliant dispatch supervisor takes a section right in the middle of my route and gives it to someone else and magically I get someone elses work that is 5 miles away. The company is now full of incompetent managers and we now have a CEO that is a faux-UPSer. This company has made the shift to a culture of incompetence and greed, it's one hell of an ugly combination.
