[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 581278"] I'm not too worried about UPS trying to steal my lunch...just my soul :( Also a few things their 'time study' doesn't take into account, which I've noticed. 1. There's no time allocation for air meets 2. No time allocation if you're driving a smaller vehicle then your route requires 3. No time allocation for when the center pages you to ask if you have such and such a package, ETA, bring it to office, etc... 4. No time allocation for when a sup requests you phone them 5. At our depot we're told at 1000 to go through our ENTIRE truck to make sure air wasn't misloaded. Also at 1130 do the same thing. I don't because I have a great preloader and honestly, going through 200pkgs from 1000 would likely take me close to 1130...Again though, no time allocation for this In other words, too many variables left out in an already ridiculously complicated formula. Scrap'em and build it from scratch to do with now times, not then times. The number one peeve for me is the air meets. A 15min airmeet = around 5 stops for me. If I'm 5 stops short of my minimum in the morning and they gave me a 10 stop split, well, what the heck?! How does that work when I'm wasting 15min loading crap you couldn't get on my truck in time?!
