[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 564651, member: 927"] Sober, You are correct about the "double whammy" drivers (routes). Those are the ones that are more than 1.5 hours over allowed. For those routes, the only way to keep the paid day below 9.5, is to plan less than 8. Both cases are no-no's and will show up on a report. For a moment however, lets put those aside. I agree that our dispatch plans don't work properly there. Now however, we have the remainder of the drivers, and at least for UPS as a whole, the remaining drivers are the vast, vast majority. Its not true as you state that the dispatch is only based on the planned day. Have someone show you the dispatch system. In the system, the supervisor is supposed to key in the average over / under allowed for each route. The dispatch is then done by PAID day not by Planned Day. Therefore, a 1 hour overallowed route will show a 9.5 plan in the dispatch when only 8.5 hours of work is dispatched. Of course, this only gives the dispatcher a 1/2 hour window to work with here without showing up on a report. While the methodology is not perfect, its still an excellent methodology. P-Man [/QUOTE]
