[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 987612, member: 4886"] You are still thinking of everything is exactly the same... then add 49 miles (at the end of day). .Why did only 36 minutes get added. You are thinking about it incorrectly. Since it's very unlikely that he did exactly the same thing and then the company had him drive 49 more miles (within the same defined area) to deliver one more stop. Let's review what I said earlier.. Put a stop watch on the driver and turn it on when he starts driving and turn it off when he stops driving. For Driver 1. He just completed his first stop of the day and he gets in car and drives one mile to get to the second stop. At the point he stops the car, Emergency brake on, keys out etc. How much time went by for that first on area mile? (Not important exact amount of time). For Driver 2. He just completed his first stop. he gets in car and drives 1/5 of a mile and comes to his second stop of day. At that point he stops the car, emergency brake on, keys out etc. The stop watch pauses. He delivers to this stop, then he gets back in car and drives another 1/5 of a mile (accelerates, brakes etc) to the next (third) stop. he does this 5 total times. At the 6th Stop of the day he has driven (1 mile of on area miles) the same total miles as Driver 1. Do you think this driver who just drove a mile spent more time , the same time or less time driving that one mile as compared to driver 1 who drove the whole mile all at once? I think most of you will agree driver 2 took more total time behind the wheel for that one total mile he drove as compared to driver 1. Please keep in mind, I'm assuming similar geography similar speed limits etc. The time study, uses a similar analogy and similar theory to give more time per on area mile when he has more work to do. And less time per on area mile when there is less work (Similar to how driver 1 would take less time for that one mile then driver 2 took). I hope that explains it better. [/QUOTE]
