[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1774123, member: 8481"] The time studies are actually done fairly accurately. The problem with the time studies is that they are based on ideal situations. No delays what-so-ever. The customer can write a check for a COD in 15 seconds. No tracking down the boss to sign. No traffic delays. No accounting for having to deliver a house around back for a safe DR. No accounting for having to track down the consignee for a signature. No accounting for having to wait for a dock door. No accounting for having to dig through the truck to get the package ORION says to deliver. No accounting for having to bag DR's when it is raining. And the list goes on. So, on a perfect day, scratch may be obtainable, but as we all know, there are never any perfect days. As long as you are fairly consistent, even if it is an hour over, that's a good day. The problems start occurring when you are typically an hour over and when management rides with you, you are scratch. They will then start digging deeper and even start following you with a video camera. [/QUOTE]
