Does the latter route have a late pickup?

9 hour plan. Done in 7.5, so you get .50 guarantee,1.00 bonus. You would show punch out at 7.5 paid 8.00, -1.00 bonus.

My center has routes u can make bonus on and routes that u can't even come close to scratch. I was a cover driver for 9 years and knew over half the routes in the center. I always liked the rural routes, which were usually the bonus routes after the google earth time study. My days of bonus are long gone now. I was awarded a bid route in town where I'm consistently over between a half hour to an hour no matter how fast I move. Suddenly I'm not considered a hard worker anymore. Lol. What a joke. Meanwhile guys that don't work as hard as me still make bonus and punch out at 4:30. I work till 7. And am asked from time to time what happened? Why were u so far over. The sups know the system is flawed but they are still ignorant enough to ask the question.

Not all bonus drivers come in early to load their pc and skip their lunch. Personally I receive about 5+ hours a week bonus on the route I'm on and take my allotted time due. I know a few others who due the same.

You will lose most, if not all, of that bonus eventually. If you are truly not coming in early to load or cutting other corners that most bonus babies are then when (not if) the allowances on that route are cut you won't notice anything other than a drop in your bonus amount. You might still get bonus though.
Our last time study confirmed who all of the lunch skippers and short cut takers were. They are the ones that have been whining about their "time being stolen" from them and/or that now they have to work their butts off just to make any bonus now. LOL! They are so selfish to realize that they shot their own foots off long ago.

I noticed that all our safety guys bonus regularly an hour to two hours a day. One of them bonused almost five hours the other day. They cut a route and combined the two. I talked to him in the boys room, we will see if I was wasting my breath.

You would think that to bonus 5 hours in one day would make someone in IE take notice.

I have worked in both kinds of centers. While it is nice to get bonus (if you can get it), ot leads to lazy dispatching. When I was in a non bonus center you never saw a 9.5 plus planned day. With bonus they just throw it in no matter what the planned day says..

I guess I had reached my limit as to all the complaining from my customers of all the service issues.
