[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 697231, member: 13921"] My Friday dispatch is an example of how the averages worked against me with the current time study. I had a PAS/EDD prediction of 102 stops. My actual was 112 (courthouse counts as one stop, but there were 6 different delivery points). I had 10 air stops that were all at the edges of my delivery area. Picture a glove, I ran up the finger to deliver, then back down and up the next for the next stop. I broke trace at 940 and punched off my last NDA at 1020. At 1020, I had 14 stops off. In order to get me to 102, I received a cut from the route next door. Those 12 stops were in a rural area that were at the far edges of that delivery area, picture another glove. I figured 1.5-2 hours to pound those stops off. It was looking like I would not make the air shuttle, so I called the driver on the route on the other side of mine and he said he didn't think he would make it either. So, I called the driver where the cuts came from, he took 10. Called the other guy back and covered his 1st 2 pick ups (they like earlier pick ups on Friday.) The end result was we all worked a 10.5 day, instead of one 9ish hour day and 2 at close to 12. Still a long day, but it worked much better as the 3rd guy leaves the delivery area and would have had a 20ish mile deadhead to comeback for our NDA to make the shuttle. My boss seems to think that the GPS virtual time study would recognize the "glove" delivery days and dispatch accordingly. He thinks it would put out fires before they start. If it works like that, it makes sense to me. [/QUOTE]
