[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 685021, member: 13254"] OK, the music has stopped and it's time to stop dancing. Does the PDF take care of the "Time allowed for " list that sober posted or not? Joe gets 150 stops that shows to be a 9.5 day, yet it actually takes Joe 10 hours to do this work. Part of the 10 hours of Joes day is spent preforming the some of the tasks on Sober's list. Who/what is to blame for Joe's over allowed performance? Time studies may not generate the dispatch, but that is what they are used for in the centers. If it takes 100 stops for a route to dispatch to an 8 hour day, isn't that determined by the stime study? They then proceed to add a few more stops to the dispatch to account for a possible few less miles driven. Then, some one has decided that they want a 9.5 hour minimum dispatch one all routes, so they add more stops to accomplish this goal. All the decisions of how many stops to add are based on the time study. You said,''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.". But the management team uses the over/under for driver evaluation and not much of anything else unless someone calls BS and then they switch to SPORH of something else. All of this is driven by time studies, regardless of the initial intent of time studoes. It may not be the way it supposed to be but that is real life. The end story is, the only thing a driver can do is continually fight with management just to keep his/her job. Geeez, that's a life every one wants. [/QUOTE]
