[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 598817, member: 484"] IT might be that your area, the whole area) was time studied a while back. And the closest area of what you now run might very well be only 20 minutes out from the center. And that is the "normal allowance" for your area. We had the same issue here, but the other way around. There are long strips of highway that have business stops on them. To boost the on area allowances, drivers were given a couple of packages for a couple of stops to show they started closer to the building. That increases their on area miles, and boosts their ability to beat standards for the regular route. For a while it got so bad that several businesses down the hwy had as many as 4-5 UPS trucks making a delivery at the same time to the business, all with one or two packages. Sure made the numbers look good, but I cant see how that actually helped UPS make any money on the time spent. To me, it was a manipulation of the system that was very dishonest, and should have gotten several people fired. Instead, they promoted them all. Go figure. d [/QUOTE]
