[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 471891, member: 4653"] I hear ya InTheRed, but I speak from experience. I practiced the methods for 30 days prior to my seniority ride. I knew I would have to follow the methods 100% so I just used that time to perfect my methods. After 10 working days I had the methods and the route down. I never took my entire lunch. I just wanted to make it. My supervisor said I should be at a certain place at a certain time. If I wasn't there I would take it out of my lunch. Anyway, my senority ride was with the center manager for the entire day. Three weeks earlier he failed a driver because he was driving by too many stops and had to back-track at least 6 times. He also had to write his stops down (before EDD) on a piece of paper because he couldn't remember them and the center manager wouldn't allow this so he drove by all those stops. I knew this and was prepared for it. Once I sorted the house calls (about 50) I remembered every one. I did everything by the book that day and was told 1 hour in "just don't hit anything and you're golden" It was a normal day on the route and I didn't finish the businesses until 35 minutes before we needed to start the pick-ups. We did house calls on trace with the businesses but it still left us with 20 after 1730. We finished at 1820 and I still had 25 minutes of lunch and a 10 minute break left. The center manager wanted to know where we lost time. My first guess would be the time standards? Something took us 20 minutes (two 2 wheeler trips for 30 packages) that he stated I would only be allowed about 6 minutes of time. We spent the rest of my personal time at a bagel shop speaking about the day. He said that I made senority that day and he was very impressed. My point is (sorry for the rant) I was over 10 hours and was never over 10 before he rode with me. I got his blessing because of how I performed in front of him for an entire day and not some stupid number generated by I.E. [/QUOTE]
