[QUOTE="AKCoverMan, post: 1085130, member: 17867"] The problem is the "planned day" number is not always accurate. And the "planned day" assumes that you are operating in perfect conditions with a perfect load that runs in perfect trace. Sometimes that works out but usually not so much. The driver cannot control the "planned day" number only the actual. I get it.. people can sandbag it then file for extra penalty pay, and I don't know how you prevent that. What I do know is I give the same effort on every route I run. I am not a "runner" but I do want to get done, I am not dragging my butt just to milk the clock. Some routes I consistently come in scratch or within an hour. Others, even when I feel I had a good, smooth day; stops falling off the car almost on there own..and I look at the WR next day and I am two hours over. Huh?? Mostly I use the over/under as a gauge only within the context of that route.. if I run it all week I like to see the over shrink during the week. Otherwise, to borrow a line from corporate speak: "It is what it is!" [/QUOTE]
