[QUOTE="soberups, post: 806739, member: 14668"] Your overall stress level will really go down once you develop the ability to stop caring about what the WOR says or how far "overallowed" you might be. I recently bid a new route and I have forced myself to [I]not[/I] look at the report each morning. The driver who did this route before followed the methods, took his lunch and breaks, and was generally 1.5 to 2 hours "overallowed" each day. I am doing the same thing, and I suspect that my "overallowed" hours are probably about the same. Or maybe not. I dont know or care either way. I just show up, clock on, and do the work. If my management team has a problem with what the report says, they know where to find me. In a case like this, Telematics is actually a good thing because it shows where I went, how long I was there, and how fast I drove. I like the transparency. They have all the information that they need to decide whether their "allowance" is realistic or not, and its up to them to [I]adjust[/I] that "allowance" if they dont like the numbers that it spits out at the end of the day. They are free to do whatever they need to do and as long as my paycheck clears every Friday I could care less one way or the other. [/QUOTE]
