[QUOTE="tourists24, post: 772021, member: 11490"] good question. none of the above are given out in a fair way. All the ones besides 3 day ride are all based on BS IE numbers. Most 3 day rides are screwed up for several reasons. First off, taking 3 days to set a complete standard for all other days doesnt make it fair. Simply not enough days to look at. It would take a lot of days to get an accurate reading. Second, you cant get a decent read because alot of drivers' routes change daily with different sections. Impossible to simply take even an average of those 3 days and expect the same performance when there is only one day to compare at a time. Third, you dont get the same performance when the sup is hovering over you telling you to do things differently than what the methods call for on your ride. I got a good taste of this last year when I had a safety ride on a Thursday and then a 3 day performance ride the next Tuesday. All of a sudden the safety aspects werent as important. When I drove around a building instead of backing and turning around I responded "no unnecessary backing right". Response "well you have to mix safety and performance". Really? I believe the best best would be some kind of a lock in, but it would need to be done right. Simple observation and ensuring all the methods are followed correctly. Instead, shortcutting for the sake of speed is encouraged. And more than 3 days [/QUOTE]
