I'm glad to see you never go over the sped limit in your personal o company vehicle.
Most of the minutes over are minutes in the breakrooms with the paper and ho-ho waiting for loads. Logistics?

What a person chooses to do in their personal vehicle...or whether or not they happen to exceed a posted speed limit in a company vehicle...has nothing at all to do with management pressuring an employee into driving a UPS package car with a flat tire in order to increase productivity.I'm glad to see you never go over the sped limit in your personal o company vehicle.

My experience with most feeder drivers is that they do drive the posted speed for the roads they are traveling. That does not take into affect bad weather or other contributing road problems.
But on the other hand, I have seen feeder drivers on a sunny warm day, with minimal traffic, drive 10-15 MPH UNDER the posted speed limit for trucks. Not sure why, but I never saw a reason for it.
I am sure feeders is much like management and delivery. There are those that are worth their weight in gold, others are not worth the ground they stand on.

I just spit my coffee out of my mouth! LoL that is soooooooooooooooooooooo true!!!!And in the metrics-obsessed cult of fear that is UPS management, it is perfectly acceptable to spend $500 in order to save a dime as long as you make sure that the dime shows up on your report while the $500 shows up on someone elses.
if you have to wait on a load,you hit central sort on the ivis (tractor computer) this will bring down your paid over day !! you should also be standing behind your load in case they are looking for you or YES,filming you !!Most of the minutes over are minutes in the breakrooms with the paper and ho-ho waiting for loads.

Exactly. This fact alone demonstrates how limited a Feeder drivers options are in reducing his overallowed. There is really only ONE WAY.
Drive faster.

As has been stated before, feeder overallowed is mostly on property. Seldom in travel. Making standard on road does NOT require speeding.
I spend much of my career in feeder..... While I have no hard facts to prove this, my belief is that the bulk of the on property overallowed is caused by management. Drivers waiting at the gate for arrival. Waiting for their outbound dispatch. Looking for a trailer, dolly, etc.
My intuition will be proven or disproven soon. Telematics is coming to feeder. Its already at UPS freight....
Much of your theory is 100% correct with meadowlands, that building is a cluster fk.
That's for sure, you can wait a half hour just to get in the gate from the street to the phone, 2-3 mins listening to the phone ring before it gets picked up. Then 15-20 waiting for the trailer to come off the door your putting your inbound load on. Then wait while they load your outbound load, if your load is in the yard there is no seal control. Then the outbound gate takes the guards 10 mins to make up the seal control and seal the load. Then when it's busy, 3-5 min wait for the phone again on the outbound. Let alone yard traffic.
Then they ask, "Reason for the delay?"
Wait until OJSes and then lock you in. LOLYes, they have posted our over/under.
Well, over anyhow. I don't think there were any under.
I'm very disappointed in this. SAFETY has always been Job One in Feeders. Is this a departure from that?
