I think it's just 095, Big and you Cove.
I guess some things are a constant at UPS. Been this way for 40 years or more.
Buildings are very expensive and once the money is spent, it's gone.
Cars parked 1 inch apart with a right leaner and left leaner will actually be touching. We use to have people stand on the bumpers to balance out the weight (reduce lean) until we got the cars apart.
Sure the initial expense may look excessive on paper but to borrow a UPS buzz phrase, GET THE BIG PICTURE.
That's neat. Does that comply with safety regulations and guidelines?
and don't forget "Aim High In Spending".
Just a thought for any of the management folks here. How come if driver scratches a truck in the building (parking situation) it’s an accident, paper work, safety tests, conference calls etc. If a management person scratches the truck (pulling the truck out for an hourly), the truck gets a touch up at best and no further action is taken. I’m beginning to think it just depends on who you are!
Union contract requires consistency in the handling of incidences.
Unfortunate but this drives so much of behavior on both sides.
My response was in reference to your question why a union driver would be treated differently from a management person in the same situation.The information submitted in this thread would suggest that "company policy" on this issue varies greatly throughout the country.
Should UPS put up buildings to accomodate volume trends, so when the volume picks up, they should open a building, when the volume drops, close that building and use the original building?

Parking a package car and pulling a package car out are two different things. You have total control when parking it, not always when pulling it out.
