[QUOTE="AKCoverMan, post: 1065307, member: 17867"] I know when they do these time studies they are looking at the distance between the parking point and the DR point. They do this using tools like Google maps. I believe they assign a time allowance per stop in each neighborhood based on the average time stops take during the time study. Once that allowance is set it is the same for every stop in the area. I don't believe that where you stop complete on a day by day basis changes your results. End result if your in an area with a lot of long driveways to walk off but make a stop at a place with an exceptionally short walk for that unit area then you might come up a bit under allowed on that stop. In theory this should all average out. Notice my choice of words.. "in theory". All I really know for sure is that I cover many routes and give the same effort no matter what route I cover. Some routes (not many) I am scratch or near it others I am often way over. Obviously some of this is different levels of route knowledge from route to route but there are some routes I know cold that I cannot scratch on even when I feel like the stops are falling off the car. So as they like to say in the corporate world "It is what it is!" [/QUOTE]
