[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 990131, member: 4886"] That's not true, there are allowances for stops, a difference allowance for DR stops. The allowance for stops is based on the defined area you are in. Many drivers may be in 3-5 defined areas on their route. Each defined area having a different allowance. There is also a per piece allowance. (both the piece and stop allowance is also true for pickups). Now.. let's take everybody's favorite of Surepost. Now we load the surepost pkgs for the DDU into a bag and the driver scans the one or two bags and delivers it to the USPS. By putting the work on the preload, the driver now only has to handle 1 or 2 (or more) bags vs the dozens of individual packages. The allowance for that stop is now the 1 or 2 "piece" allowance for the bags along with the stop delivery allowance. As to in 2004 we had a time study and it came to X and now 6-8 years later another time study comes and I lost a bunch of time. Well, that's why we do studies more often. Things do change over time. I'm sure between then and now was when the allowance per package was reduced. Not sure when, but they reanalyzed the time for the per pkg allowance. The old measurement took into account manually handwriting in the delivery record. The new time study takes into account just scanning the bar code. Also, I have very rarely seen anyone have a time study that shows they are 2.5 hours paid under unless they either had a very poor time study done, the driver was a hazard to himself\herself or others (running, speeding). I've also seen the driver do what was told but they were told to cheat by the center. For example, go do a pickup of hundreds of smalls loaded on the dock. There is a seperate allowance when you are picking up multiple smalls. There's a whole litany or reasons of how it can happen.
