8 bph is fine on a normal day. have a day when everything falls into place and 10 or 11 is easy. have a day where everything is all over the trailer or 10 bills with 47 handling units and decking nose to tail and you wont even make 6. just let the red shirts know when you get trailer from hell and you'll be fine.Are "Bills per hour" goals the same at all barns? My friend at SDA had to sign a sheet saying he'd get 8 per hour. Most say this is not realistic.

You satisfy the computer nerds and it keeps the man off your back. It's a game where the rules are easy and must be played if you're a shuttle driver. 14 years 386 miles a day, couple hours on the dock, I'll take it over unemployment any day.
Bills per hour would mean on the dock, right SuperDave?
In our barn city drivers as a team have a goal of 1.6 stops per hour and keep miles between stops under 4

I really believe this bill count nonsense creates an unsafe work condition with all these worry warts running around driving the jeeps way too fast in tight situations, no one will stop for you even though you are trying to maneuver a huge piece of freight out of a trailer. I am just waiting for the day when somebody is going to get seriously hurt or killed, then the company will blame it on the driver and say well we want you to work safe but faster. So I don't lose any sleep over bph and neither should any body else. If we all decide TOGETHER that I am just going to do the best that I can and the hell with the rest we would all be better off. Hell what are they going to do fire all of us!!!!
I agree,but 8 bills an hour isnt unreasonable of them to ask.
