for time studies to work at upsf they have to start at the bottom (outbound) and work there way up to the delivery driver.
And everything will need to be a standard.
At the package side of the business everything is the same, a box is under a certian size and under a certian weight and every trailer is loaded a certian way on the floor. very predictable
there is no problem freight, they can always be stacked high and tight it can be repeated so there should not be any big time differences in loading or unloading times. It is repeatable, if a load does dump it doesn't matter becuase you still have to sort through boxes if there upright or not. time per package.
At ups freight no two loads are ever the same,
how long does it take to load pup full of tomato sauce, about 10 min, what if it is all broke down and it is 4200 cases 3 hours+
the loads are never the same so it could never take the same amount of time. not predictable
almost all of our freight can cause a problem, dump or spill. which adds time.
package p&d is also the same everyday there routes are very condensed they only cover a very small area a few square miles, they have rural routes but nothing like our rural routes, becuase they only cover such a small area traffic becomes very repetive, they pull up to the front door drop the package on the desk and leave. there time per stop is very predictable.
freight delivery may want inside delivery, sorted and segerrated, wait for a open door, inspect freight, with heavy freight you might have to wait on a forklift, and most places only let a receiving clerk sign for a freight shipment again, not predictable.
and our routes are not compact so traffic becomes more of a problem you may have to be at the same location 3 or 4 times a day with multiple deliveries and pickups scheduled at different times.
Our rural routes can do 200-400 miles per day.
My prediction ups package has standards we will have goals.
