[QUOTE="idrivethetruck, post: 139672, member: 882"] They did new time studies in my center last February and they were a complete joke. On the day of my time study I had never seen my truck so empty! I was dispatched with 115 delivery stops and 2 pickups. My normal dispatch is 125 to 135 stops a day. The guy doing the time study is an on-car sup in another center so I made sure to do things "by the book". I clocked out that night at 6:15pm. Start time that day was 8:30 am. The next day the report showed that the dispatch for the previous day was 6.94 hours...not even a planned 8 hour day and I ran almost 2 hours over-allowed. I was elated!! I just knew that I was finally going to get a better time allowance. WRONG!!!! When the results came back from the time study, I was told that I was getting an extra 20 minutes added for travel time. This was good. I was then told that I supposedly took 15 minutes too long to sort my load and that would be subtracted from the 20 minute travel allowance! So here is the result of my time study......I now get 5 more minutes a day to do my route! Woo Hooo!!!! What a difference that has made. My sup gave me a 3-day ride in which he concluded that I must maintain a 15.5 spohr each day. When I do 15.5 stops per hour, the report still shows that I run an hour and a half to 2 hours over-allowed each day. I think the time studies were purposely screwed-up in order for them to send each driver out with more work than they can do. In other words, if they send me out with "planned" 8 hours then I am out for 9 1/2. Since the new time allowances went into effect I have only clocked out before 7pm twice! My story is not unique in my center. In fact it was the same with every route. Everyone was sent out with less work than normal and ended up with an allowance worse than before. What gives?? [/QUOTE]
