[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 1276052, member: 4653"] Management here calls that a 7 hour plan and 8 hour paid day. They need to make the route an 8 hour plan to comply with upper management's rules. So what do they do? They throw some house calls or an apartment complex on the 24 footer to make it an 8 hour plan. But now they have a 10.5 paid day. How does this produce profits? UPS business philosophy at its finest. Just leave the damn route alone at 7 hours. You're making money hand over fist with the inherent efficiencies of the other 52 routes in spite of yourselves. Isn't that good enough? The route is what it is and never will produce 8 hours on paper, so why add 15 stops that would take a "regular" drive 35 minutes to do on trace to a guy in a 24 footer that will take over an hour to do after he breaks trace from his industrial park? It doesn't make any sense except to people in UPS management. Maybe they teach this at Harvard Business School? I'll never know because I'm not smart enough to make those decisions. [/QUOTE]
