[QUOTE="177member, post: 106576"] Aspenleaf, one of the games UPS management plays during time studies is to have the load groomed. That is, to have it made perfect so the driver doesn't lose additional time for sorting and selecting. They usually will remove stops and bulk. They also will make sure the delivery sequence is perfect. The result no longer represents reality. It is usually done when management is trying to attain a production benchmark that they think they can hold the driver to, usually SPORH (stops per on road hour). It is just one more unethical tool that is used to harass a worker for higher production levels. Every time you witness this inform the driver or his steward so the time study can be thrown out and not recognized as fair or legitimate. [/QUOTE]
