[QUOTE="Tom Barnyard, post: 80251"] We have a route in our center that all our managers say is very "fat." It's very easy to do the route and be 1.5-2 hours under-allowed. We were talking about routes in the breakroom the other day and that route came up. The guy that was delivering that route when the time study was done said that the key to getting a good time study was NEVER leaving a package in plain sight. He left almost all the resi stops at back doors and left a delivery notice in the inside of the front door (if there was a light "outside door'). He said that he also knocked on every front door and waited a brief moment to see if someone was home. For resi signature stops, he tried at least 2 neighbors if the consignee was not home. At the end of the day, the time study guy said that the driver had wasted 2 minutes during the day. He punched in from lunch on the way to the truck, then put his lunch bag in the back, that should have been done during break time. The result was that a route that regularly went out with 95-100 stops plus 15 stop metro was said to have a 9.5 dispatch with 75 stops and the metro. The center manager at the time went on a tirade, but there wasn't anything he could do about it...... Tom B [/QUOTE]
