If you really want to understand it watch the movie The Matrix. After I watched it 30 times plus I understand everything much clearer. Give it a try.

Bonus or not, overtime pays more than bonus. From what I hear ex- Runner Gunners saying.

I can understand being quick and smooth with a steady pace. What you dont want is to have fast periods then slow periods in between. Be consistent. If you do this and you bonus, Great! If not, it may just be the route.

They do this because they're kittie whipped at home and know their wives are cheating on them with men who have cash on hand, because they work more than 7 hours a day. Otherwise they'd be out working and making the duckets for the wife and kids and building a fat 401k.

I could care less if I look worse then
In my center bonus is paid at time and a half. So looking at it like that one would think that the two drivers running the exact same trip would make the exact same amount for the day.
But if you dig deeper you will see the methods driver will make more money. He will most likely not be able to get all grounds off with airs resulting in more stops. Having to back track with the grounds will add miles. Going back to get grounds off will add more time.
The runner will plan their day so that they are at their pickups 15 minutes (or earlier) where the methods guy may have to break off to get to the pickup and then have to return to the deliveries after pickups.
The bonus driver will never get paid more then the planned day. The methods driver will usually be well over the UPS planned day. Even if the methods driver ran scratch or even a little bonus, he will still make more then the bonus driver do to his planned day being higher because of the added miles and added stops by not getting grounds off with airs and all the other things runners do to get done early.
Same trip, same stops, same pieces the methods guy will be paid more then the bonus driver.

"Those Other Drivers" by burning it up everyday and skipping lunch,are taking away Teamster jobs......thus no additions to pension ........hence to forth it is something to be concerned with......in conclusion we should pull a Tanya Harding on them and break there legs.
That's just a fantasy. Jobs are added based on volume, not some random driver's individual performance numbers. If you really want more teamster jobs go rustle up some business, or spend some of your free time working to get Fedex organized.

nowhere special
Number of drivers is determined by corporate by the arbitrary stops per car metric (which assumes all stops are equal). Even if a center manager needs more drivers he won't be allowed to hire them if it violates the official predetermined stops per car. If the drivers are not churning the expected numbers( rofl) then service goes down but routes won't be added.

Sounded good until you said service goes down. I think service level goes up, and sporh goes down. Remember, safety, service, production in that order.
Sounds like you're about to get red tagged !!!
[derail] We were once told in a PCM to pre-trip our bodies every morning before we went out on the street.
Being the smart-ass that I am, I raised my hand and told the supe I was red-tagging myself.
Did not go over well!
