[QUOTE="BigBrownSanta, post: 317441, member: 11097"] On my last 3 day OJS ride, my sup told me that the only way to get a new time study on my area would be for him to put his job on the line. He basically would have to personally guarantee the time allowances were wrong or face losing his job. I don't know if that was true, but if it was, these new GPS time studies could be used for adjusting routes that are consistantly overallowed or maybe used to review the last live, in-person time study to verify the IE person's calculations. It shouldn't take an act of God to get a route's allowance changed. If my route has 120 stops and I'm 1 hour overallowed every day, that's 30 seconds per stop. How can I be that overallowed per delivery when many of my deliveries are simply walk to the door, drop the package and leave and most of those take less than 30 seconds to do? I don't waste time talking to anyone. A GPS time study could show whether I'm wasting time BSing or not. One side of me wants to think GPS time studies could be a useful tool, while the other side of me realizes there are vindictive management people who may use the opportunity to adjust allowances just to target and harass a driver they don't like (such as one of the "goons" tieguy writes about).
