[QUOTE="aspenleaf, post: 105958, member: 5143"] [COLOR=black]I thought two of my drivers had 8 hour days today due to their loads were very light. I was so happy for them (they always request them and they usually get bumped due to volume etc.) to finally have gotten the 8 hour day. So when I saw them I asked about their short day and just laughed and said "time study, why?" I replied that I noticed the loads were very light.[/COLOR] [COLOR=black] [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]Is this the normal practice for a time study?
