Except it is not "inflating the numbers" at all. At the end of the day your pickup piece count will be exactly where it should be. You don't seem to understand that.

It may not affect you directly, but give em cause and one day you are started down the disciplinary progression for "failing to grab the handrail"; something we can get disiciplined for but nobody will, unless they are out to get you. Then the numbers you DO care about are in danger.
This is low hanging fruit that I can use to accurately reflect my day (a pickup piece is a pickup piece).
Do the work and dont get the credit!!!Again who gives a giant crap!!!Just pay me for my hours,,,thats the only numbers I worry about. Let your Sup worry about the other numbers!

If you cause him/her trouble, they can find a way to make you concerned; such is the game.
Get me for something good! If they dont I will bury them in paperwork and so will my fellow drivers!!!Been there done that.

I've been gotten 'with something good' several times, and I am still here. It wasn't luck; people knew I respected what was going on and that was reflected in my work and dealings with others. 'They' really didn't want to let me go (told by managers, supes, and union officials), and it was because I was 'caring about the numbers' before I was forced to 'care about the numbers'. I did what I could, I made the effort.
Oh, things never got to the local hearing. They never left the bldg (though I lost my job for a total of two weeks for a couple incidences while things were hashed out, and the other time I was an article 7 for two lomonths; I know better now, but back then I worked everyday thinking I would come back to the bldg and be told not to come back the next day).

IMO - Telematics for hourlies is not about showing over/under. You can still be over allowed and have an acceptable telematics report. If you are following the methods, recording each stop and p/u accordingly, and working your regular pace then each stop will be within the time allowance. If you are over allowed at the end of the day then it is because of other reasons e.g.; traffic, speed, elevators, waiting on someone to answer a back door, ARS p/u's.....
I am NOT advocating screwing around - the production report each day is a reflection of your time study and telematics is the real reflection of your working day. Any discrepancy is caused by only two things - you or a faulty time study. Just my opinion.

Wow, it's so funny how people do things different places. Upstate is definitely wrong adding ars pkgs people hand him in a drop box count. That's why you have to scan all drop box pkgs, so company knows how much a drop box is being used. I'd like to know his excuse for not doing it the proper way in special counts.
Now at regular pick ups if they have any ars pkgs you count them in your pick up totals for that stop, regardless if they use world ship or whatever. Do not scan, just load and add to pick up pkgs. and you don't put them in special counts. That's how we were all trained a couple yrs ago. We use to scan everything, company said we didn't need to.

This is exactly how I have been instructed to do it. We even had little ups quiz s to make sure everyone understood how to do it. If I'm at a sch. Pu and they have 1 asd and 9 ars, that's 10 pkgs going in my totals for that stop. And why? Cause I picked up 10 pkgs. If someone hands me a pkg on the street, I scan it immediately in special counts and add pkg in special counts.

Its called recording the package correctly. Its nothing personal.
"What difference does it make?" Here is a hypothetical situation for you: Lets say one day you ask me if its ok to just to put the ARS together at one stop just because its convient for you and I say yes. (Not a method)
The next day you decide to sheet a NDA saver business after 3 as a residential because you didn't want to break to get it because it was inconvient, not a method (why not I let you sheet the ARS together, we're cool...)
and I bring you in the office the next day for discipline for you know what.
Why would it be ok not to have you follow one method and but demand you follow the other one.
Thats why I ask everyone to follow the methods...makes everyones life a little easier.

In Telematics you can print out a time standard for each route. On this printout it shows exactly how much time you get in every catagory. In our district there is time for ARS (and so do you), regular pickup pcs, delivery stop, air, etc etc. You would be amazed how many people record stuff that they think they get credit for..cause driver so and so said so.
Take my word you get credit.
Here is one tip will that will really help you. Make your customers print you the end of day! When I ride with a driver and I see him start to scan I just tell him stop. I will let you guess how the rest of the conversation goes.
