[QUOTE="Braveheart, post: 517898, member: 5831"] So it appears that he averaged about 18 stops per hour on a high volume route and you accuse him of looking for "excuses" to go slower??? Looks to me like this driver is a hard worker who busts it out day in day out. Also looks like the guy has some common sense in that every day has new issues to fight through and to expect one to return to the building by the same time everyday is a joke. What if he has 350 boxes the next day. What if he gets 2 or 3 OCA's that are out of the way. What if there is a problem with a COD customer. What if he has a driver follow up to investigate. What if there is an accident holding up traffic for 20 minutes. What if he is sick but came to work any way. True there will be days where the volume drops to 250, rare but it could happen. He will have days where he hits every green light. He will have days where it seems like every customer is helping out or meeting him half way up the driveway. The reality is there are only a few days here and there that will be smooth as silk, but most will have at least a couple issues that put you behind and a few that will crush your day. Basically it takes countless good things to have a kick butt day but as simple as 1 or 2 things, like air meet point off area, oca in woods and so forth that will knock you below sporh. We do not work in a controlled environment. There are too many things beyond our control. I had a 3 day ride once and the sporh were different everyday. And not like 14.9, 15.1 and 15.3 either. We moved with like a full stop to a stop and a half apart and missed 9.5 two out of the three days. Then they take my easy stuff off as they know I can not make 9.5. Without the easy stuff my sporh dropped. So now even though I ran good every day and made 9.5 I would never maintain their numbers. They put the easy stuff back on me and voila, the sporh goes up. But I am back to missing 9.5 and back to filing grievances. [/QUOTE]
