I knew about scratch in my first couple of days. You will not qualify in my center if you can't scratch.

Scratch is whatever the management team wants it to be. They can pencil-whip most anything to their advantage. Back in the late 70's and mid 80's when I was in package, I ran under almost every day, and the longer I stayed on the route, the more efficient I got at it. Knew who would be home, who wouldn't. Who would accept packages for what neighbors (no driver release then). I got attaboys from my center manager most days. One day a guy showed up with a funny clipboard with a stop watch built into it. Industrial engineering. I told the guy to stay out of my way and not to touch a package. He was standing on the bottom step of my package car fiddling with his stop watch, and I ran him over. I had about 100 lbs on him. He picked himself up off the ground and immediately apologized to me. I ended up losing 1.5 hours on that time study which was unheard of. I called BS and they redid it with another guy. Got most of it back, but it just goes to show they can fudge numbers with the best of them. BTW that IE guy got fired not long after that. I don't regret mowing him over, except for the fact that I ripped the ass out of my pants from the bottom of my zipper to my belt loop when I went down. haha

I gained time on my only time study. I didn't barrel roll my time study person.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Yeah now all time studies are virtual. Can't say I've heard of anyone gaining time in a long time.

I've heard of running scratch before i just didn't pay much attention. Had plenty to do in december the last two years. What of this filing a grievance if I somehow didnt qualify aka run "scratch?" I mean if the sups can play with numbers to make me look retarded how does a grievence help? I've had plenty of run ins with the sups but never filed the big G..

search for jerseycity's experience (i forgot his full ID name)
he wasn't given a fair shake to qualify due to various reasons (peak season weather & add/cuts, not training/qualifying on the same area during that time period, etc) ~ local management didn't like him so they set him up to fail is my guess
& when he went to grieve it, they gave him another 30 days to re-qualify...

Oh Yeah
Because scratch, like Santa Claus, Bigfoot, Godzilla, aren't real. Its a made up number with no physical proof of it being a true realistic number. Its a made up number that they stupposedly use a virtual time study to decide how many stops are supposed to be on there. That number is not made to help a driver its made up to work against the driver, so the driver will work faster. You know what happens when you chase an imaginary number? You get hurt and crash, and that's the last thing you want to do when your trying to qualify. They don't give you any allowance for all the things a driver has to do during the day such as having to look for a box in the stevie wonder load they send drivers out with everyday, traffic, over 100 lb boxes, taking a piss or dump, sorting residentials etc. If you have a god shop steward whos not a little 
, they will stand up for you during your grievance procedure if they try n disqualify before your 30 or 4 days.

Remember: even if you were setting world record out there sling packages, they will tell you improvement is needed. Don't let it get in your head, keep a pace and dont run into anything.
