[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 315596, member: 4777"] touchdown!!!! Absolutely right! And the scary thing about the alloted times for all of the methods is that they are averages. So, if the mar for walking up to the door is 8 seconds, there were many who did it faster...huh, how the hell is this possible. Personally,imo, the "numbers" is the biggest crock of dishonesty there is. There were routes I did when I first started that I made 1 hour bonus, and I could pretty much crawl through the route and bonus, but there were other routes that I would speedwalk through and be 2 hours over....it just didnt make any sense. Many towns have better allowance than others and if you have a section of street that is coded for fast delivery time, and your waiting at lights, and have heavy traffic and people walking around then you will never get close to breaking even. I know my route inside and out, I dont spend time sorting, or in the back of the truck. I walk mar and dont have very much interaction with customers. I drive from stop to stop and should at least be in the -15 to +15 range, but I am almost always 1.5 hours over...always, except one time where I had 30 over 70 lb packages and on that day I was like over by .50 or so, which actually I felt pretty good about. Myu point is that the system is set up to have us fail..pure and simple.Why dont they just take the whole damn thing away, save the millions a year they pay out in bonus and call it a wash? [/QUOTE]
