[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 106074, member: 4886"] Weather splits are made or not, weather the load is heavy or not, shouldn't affect the time study for the average allowance per delivery area. For each defined area, all the time study does is two things. 1. For allowances, it determines the pickup stop and delivery stop (both signature and DR allowance) and that's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Weather a stop has 1 pkg or more doesn't affect the measurement. Keep in mind, there is a per pkg stop so the more pkgs, the more allowance per pkg. Also if a driver has more pkgs then can be safely and efficiently done in one trip, then the stop allownace for that stop, will show multiple walks adding more time for that stop. All the stops in that defined area (including allowances for other drivrs working in the same defined area, if any) are averaged together to come up with a plan. When you take the per stop allowance + the per pkg allowance, + the accessorials (COD's, over 70s etc) this comes up with the planned time. Then you add in the planned time to go to and from your area. Then you add in the on area time of time allowed for each mile. This is done by the computer that has been in place for years and years and years. To summarize, if you have a driver that once he gets to his\her route he\she only drivers a few miles since they are deliverying to strip malls, businness parks etc. The allowance per mile is pretty high, since there's a lot of starting car, driving 200 yards, then stopping. If you have a country route where there could be a mile between stops, then the per mile allowance is not that big, since the driver spends lots of time driving at speed limit, and the time to start and stop is rather small for the entire mile driven vs the time to start\stop when you only go 200 yards (% wise). I could go on about the studies and all the nuances but I Hope this covers it and makes sense [/QUOTE]
