Nothing wrong with that ... just make sure you don't do it on company time since that would be stealing time.
A driver got fired in my center in the early 80's when we use to get time studies every couple of years or so.He had a country route.The day before his time study he had his wife send some empty pkgs to some of his shag stops.Coustomer called in wanting to know why box was empty.UPS invstigated,driver lost job.Dumb idea.
Never heard of a shag stop. Is that where you stop and shag? Just asking.......................
Windshield time.Shag stop: see also, chaser.
Chasers are stops on a country run that are in the middle of nowhere. The driver was being time studied and wanted to run up his miles. Fail.
Especially since this actually would have made his On-Area MPH go up (in most cases). I use to get a big laugh at all the crazy things drivers use to do trying to increase their allowances.A driver got fired in my center in the early 80's when we use to get time studies every couple of years or so.He had a country route.The day before his time study he had his wife send some empty pkgs to some of his shag stops.Coustomer called in wanting to know why box was empty.UPS invstigated,driver lost job.Dumb idea.
Do you think drivers were doing "crazy" things to be able to goof off out there or because they were being harassed about not going fast enough....just asking???Especially since this actually would have made his On-Area MPH go up (in most cases).

Most drivers have it really hard every day to get things done going by the rules period.Neither. I think they were trying to get more allowed hours and did not understand how time study allowances are developed.
And I am positive that a union rep informed each and every driver the actual DOT laws which trump whatever lies management is spewing about lunches?My Center is about to go on telematics and we had our first class on it Friday. We were told we could not drive off area for lunch because we would be stealing the company's fuel and putting wear on the vehicle. Not a problem to me since I have been packing my lunch for 27 years. We were also told we would be fired if we tried to mess with any of the sensors.
