[QUOTE="jake_1996, post: 253447, member: 8108"] You probably have a good point. Back when I was in IE it was every bonus area every three years and every non-bonus area every 5 years. My 80% is based on a time study that is about 3-5 years current. Areas don't change much over time unless there is some major development (mall, convention center). Since there are separate allowances for commercial and residential, if there is growth in one or the other, it really doesn't matter. Growth benefits the driver because of shorter travel between stops and more multiple stop carries. In Philly (probably non-bonus) some areas may have not been studied since early 90's. Highly unlikely though. In these centers in my old district we instructed the center managers to use best demonstrated performance, not over/under... I do understand your frustration though, and would like to see UPS move back to more accurate ways to estimate workloads. I do see this as a potential way of reducing over 9.5s while satisfying UPS's need to prevent dispatching under 8.0. I don't want to see it favor either one, just make is as fair and accurate as possible. Jake [/QUOTE]
