[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 461784, member: 13254"] Danny, all my posts on this thread have been about the validity of time studies, O/Us vs. SPORH and which is more fair to both the company and the driver. In MHO, neither is a fair measurement. Both are stressed (depending on which one pushes the right buttons for the driver) to get more production out of the drivers. IMO, the SPORH seem to be closer to a realistic goal (THOUGH NOT PERFECT) of a drivers effort than O/U because those numbers come from past performance averages of averages. Of course we all know that circumstances vary from day to day that change these numbers that can adversely effect the day. Things that are neither the drivers fault nor the comapnies fault, yet the company will still try to hold our feet to the fire for the ever changing numbers. With O/U and/or SPORH, if I have to make a meet point for late air or to send in out going pickups and I have to wait 10 minutes, my numbers for the day have changed. On the case of this thread, if the facts are as you showed in your post ( and I have no reason to doubt you) this guy as not ultimately terminated for production, bad numbers or any other reason than arrogance and stupidity.
