[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3921658, member: 63706"] I've been trying to figure out how the numbers are derived since I started driving, even though I understand they aren't recognized by the union. I like a good puzzle, and time allowances are like trying to put one together with only a piece or two at a time. I had come to the conclusion that you just confirmed. I am assuming that there is no differentiation between commercial, residential, and perhaps even pick ups as far as time per stop, probably even more so since CIR. I also assume they establish an average speed on each route to derive a time for number of miles driven. If this is the case, this is where I believe many of the routes depart from reality. And if there are any delays there's no catching up without running or skipping breaks. Sometimes I wonder if the numbers are so unrealistic to motivate the drivers, or to minimize supervisor's bonuses. [/QUOTE]
