[QUOTE="killamjl, post: 440359, member: 11023"] I was waiting for a Train to pass tonight and I had a pencil and paper so I did the math. (Im keeping this simple for the masses) UPS Management has 20 friend/T drivers and 5 P/T So they send there P/T home and send out the friend/T to make 5000stops (250 each ~or~ about an 11 hour day @ 2.5mins per stop) Long story short it takes these 20 drivers 11 hours each to finish there route. [SIZE=1]20 x 8 x 32 = 5120[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]20 x 3 x 48 = 2880[/SIZE] So UPS owes the 20 drivers 8000$ for there work + the cost of using 20 Package Cars + the cost of (miles x fuel). [SIZE=1]8000$ + 20x + 20(y * 2.50$)[/SIZE] [SIZE=3][B]STAY WITH ME ALMOST DONE[/B][/SIZE] Now what if Management sent out 20F/T and the 5 P/T to help out lets take a look. Still have 5000 stops but now its 200 Stops per person. (or a 9 hour day a 2.5min per stop) [SIZE=1]20 x 8 x 32 = 5120[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]20 x 1 x 48 = 960[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]5 x 8 x 25 = 1000[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]5 x 1 x 32 = 160[/SIZE] So UPS owes there drivers 7240$ [SIZE=1]7240$ + 25x + 25(y * 2.50)[/SIZE] [SIZE=1][/SIZE] To sum it all up, UPS does not save money trying to cram 250 stops in our trucks. In fact its the most in-efficient thing you can do and heres why. No matter what numbers you plug in for X and Y its still only a 25% cost increase ([B]even if you go thru a full tank of gas and the cost of using a ups vehicle is 100$ a day[/B]) the variable operating cost of 20 UPS drivers for 11 hours is still higher then 25 UPS drivers for 9 hours. Not to mention the following problems -Driver Helpers add cost to the group of 20 drivers and you dont need them when running 25 drivers -When trucks are Bricked out at 250 Stops there are more misloads, more time spent organizing trucks. -Driver productivity decreases at night and past 9 hours -Drivers past 9 hours need help bringing in pickups (usually done by the management team, but still its an added cost) -AND YOUR ENTIRE FCKING DRIVING TEAM GETS PISSED OFF AT MANAGEMENT FOR HAVING THERE HEADS UP THERE @#$ and not being able to use 3rd grade math...let alone 101 courses in Management class like TOC solutions and Efficiency Planning..... On the bright side at least us friend/T drivers are making a fat paycheck off there mistakes. Sorry for the math...:anxious: [SIZE=1][/SIZE] [SIZE=2][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
