[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1079571, member: 13921"] That is the rub. In order to have a serious discussion about avoiding HWP, both management and drivers have to recognize that a driver is going to walk more throughout the day. That also means that an overloaded driver might choose closer, riskier spots to save some steps so they can finish the end of a 10.5-11 hour dispatch. Huge dispatches and safer parking spots are counter to each other. Driver's that go out with 8.5-9 hour dispatches will pick safer spots and work the methods way more consistently than someone that routinely goes out with 10+ hour dispatches. I would bet dimes to dollars that somewhere an industrial engineer did a master's thesis on the effects of over-dispatches on productivity. I know of 1 and cannot find it now. [/QUOTE]
