You better watch out, you can barely do 120 in 2 days you might be gone soon. Either that or you will soon be working 16 hour days. LOL

No.....
First, the methods are based on a proper job setup. If you do not have a proper setup, like proper equipment, a good load, a good dispatch, then your ability to hit scratch is affected.
In addition, work measurement is 95% accurate.... On a 9 hour day, that is a 27 minute swing on any given day.

come on p, "no" doesnt tell us much...some details please
No. Following the methods will not make you scratch the imaginary numbers they come up with stops for each route. However if you keep following the methods and they give you a 3 day ride and you follow the methods the numbers of stops on your route should go down or then can keep paying you more OT...
They don't want you to follow the methods they know if you do you'll never make the numbers. The only time the methods come into play with management is when you get into an accident or get hurt then they use the fact that you weren't following the methods and that is why the accident happen or your got hurt....

No. Isn't that against the contract? Maybe the OP isn't from the States.
Unless that helper is getting paid the same rate as the driver than I would think it would be ok.

Isn't it contractually stated that you can only have a helper for the two peaks that are defined quite clearly?

If the company wants to put two drivers on car at top rate that's ok.
Correct. If the "helper" is getting Paid $31.785 hr in my case the union doesn't have a problem with using helper other than in peak...

There is no way they are going to put two top rate employees on the car all day every day, especially with only 120 stops.

Yes.
Central Region Language.... Article 11 - Part-Time Employees, Section 5.
My Local has 3 routes, that have year round helpers. It's an option that has to be mutually agreed too.
A previous administration allowed the company the right. I don't agree with it.... but the deal was made. In exchange for what.... I don't know.
