[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 684214, member: 927"] You don't know how it works, but you are sure that its skewed in the company's favor. In fact you believe that is due to a conspiracy. You don't know how much time PDF adds, but you are sure it does not account for what you do. You say that time studies generate the dispatch, but they do not. Lots of drivers are scratch or underallowed. Lots of time studies have been updated and give drivers more time. (yours included). You say that they are used to evaluate drivers. You are correct there... I agree that time studies alone should not be used to evaluate a driver's performance. I have consistently said that. Its not a 100% perfect system. No system in existence is. It is not random as you assert. There is a library in Atlanta where the backup for every allowance is kept. I've seen it. There are video tapes where the allowances were drawn from. There are fine people with high integrity that develop and maintain those allowances. Just because you want to believe that allowances are the result of an evil empire does not make it so. I wonder if the union ever asked to be taught how time studies worked and see the process? I wonder what UPS would say. I am all for that transparency. I don't think ignorance is bliss. P-Man [/QUOTE]
