[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 641402, member: 5485"] I don't see anyone saying that time measurement is worthless, only that the " method" by which it is administered can be. My center has drivers at both ends of the scale, under and over. What we do not have is anyone who is following methods, safety, service standards and achieving an "acceptable" level of production. We do have underallowed drivers who have found the "sweet spot" somewhere between what they are expected to do and what is actually good safe methods given the real world scenarios we all work in. When you can hide bad habits to achieve a semblance of peace with the numbers and discipline vs reality and corner cutting, drivers will almost always go the easy less harassing route. Its human nature. No one really likes to fight every single day. If that's not intentionally figured in the "big picture" then we are all living a dream. I have been told this by corporate "trainers" who came through here 10 years ago to attempt to rethink the old plan and try to reprogram the drivers as a more thoughtful more service focused. They tried and were shut down by those who did not see the production results anywhere. You can only cut your way to profitability so far, because once the fat is gone, (and folks its been gone for awhile) all the rest is trimming into the vital organs of the beast. [/QUOTE]
