[QUOTE="IWorkAsDirected, post: 408046, member: 13559"] I have participated in 2 time studies during my 21+ years with ups and yes, they took every step with me, they recorded my mileage at each change in speed limit and they marked down all time spent at stop lights etc. So maybe you are not aware of how they were done 15-18 years ago when they did them. They were not simply observers they actually went with you every step of the way and I believe they were very accurate, which cannot possibly be done on a computer looking at a satellite image. I am so glad I'm almost to retirement as this will only add to the incredibly impossible standards that drivers are required to meet these days. All of the technological additions have been good for the customer and for the company, but because someone somewhere believes these things save the drivers time it has made it impossible to work to expectations. The time I spend sorting, sending messages, replying to messages, meeting because of misloads, and delivering misloads takes much, much more time than what little may have been saved by scanning rather than recording manually. In fact my diad went down yesterday and they brought me out another one without edd, I did 10 more stops per hour without edd. [/QUOTE]
