[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 526619, member: 11246"] Exactly. I dbl counted the driver at 136.80. If you take it away from both scenarios, (making it a wash) you still come up with the same final answer. I had the driver in each equation to make it easier to understand, but I guess that didn't work. As far as insurance, do we know what the deal they have with the insurance company? Perhaps they have a bare bones insurance for parked vehicles and pay a higher premium for vehicles out on the road? I have a truck parked that I have just the state minimum liability on that vehicle while it is mothballed. It would not surprise me to see something like this with the size of UPS and their power to negotiate deals with insurance companies. Would make sense for them not to pay full coverage for a vehicle that isn’t being driven. Gas can't be a wash. We have routes that take an hour to get on area. 2 hours of commute for and additional vehicle has to burn some gas...right? Also, I know this isn’t going to be a popular opinion but.......I think it is just as arrogant for the drivers to assume that management isn’t looking at the bottom line but rather they are just out to bust nuts at any price. Just like some management assumes that drivers are all out to steal time and bust some nuts themselves. But what do I know? I just always assume that not everything is just black and white. [/QUOTE]
