[QUOTE="just a guy, post: 88870"] A couple of quick things from someone who has done studies. 1. I counted my steps not yours. 2. I measured from the car to the closest acceptable delivery point.(and back) ie, if the porch is covered and their is a good place to get the pkg out of sight you are wasting your time going to the back door, Do it once when you dont need to and every TSO will start to question your integrity and won't feel bad about giving out 2 walks when maybe it was a three. 3. Be underallowed, I don't know why but it seems to work. 4. Don't get help at dock stops. (see 7) You do the work not the receiver/shipper. 5. if you get apartments or offices that are unfamiliar dont be afraid to ask directions or look it up on a directory,(three's credit for that) Once you start stumbling around we're just going to end up having to throw out the stop. 6. if you can get up the driveway in the country don't walk it off (see number 2) 7. It is not really a time study it's a work measurement. I dont care if it takes all day if its 12 steps its a 2 walk. [/QUOTE]
