[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 499916, member: 4777"] great post article. The apt areas are somewhere where I know I loose time on. I really dont think there is any allowance difference between delivering to a house where the front door is 10 steps from the truck and delivering to an apt on the 3rd floor, 3 floors up, 3 floors down, then having to go to the apt mgr to drop off, there has to be time lost for that, even if some say that you get time for an "left at". Does anyone have the allowances for different aspects of the job, selection time, start up, etc? I wonder when these "allowances" were made, probably YEARS ago, and the scary thing is that they are based on an average. So, if starting up a car once your in the seat takes 4 seconds, there were some drivers doing it in 2...which is VERY hard to believe. Why arent drivers given an allowance for handtruck use, or for more selection time when a car is blown out. Can someone tell me how the system knows if your delivering 5 letters or 5 60 lb boxes needing a handtruck, there is going to be a large amount of difference in time between the two, and if your using a handtruck many times a day your going to loose time.. period. But everyone just seems to say, dont worry, its all "averaged" out, the stops that take time and the fast ones..thats very hard to believe.
