I think he means 480 seconds per hour?I think there is more than 480 seconds in an 8 hour day.

of course theres more than 480 seconds in a 8 hour day he was using ups mathI think there is more than 480 seconds in an 8 hour day.
a good thing it wasnt 333.333.03Yeah you guys are right I misfigured that. I did it right the first time and I thought to myself theres no way that can be right, so I second guessed myelf. I thought 41.5 million was bad. The real figure would be $2,495,997,504,000.
Basically that's what I meant by logistics. These guys and gals know everything just sit back and observe the beauty of there logistics. It will make you laugh when you don't let there ineptness bother you and laughing is just plain good and healthy for us all.ME thinks that the point he was trying to make was hidden in the numbers.
And yes, he was talking company wide, not just a few drivers.
To put things into perspective.
Sober gets back to the center later than he was scheduled to return. That makes the hub run behind, which in turn makes the feeder department run behind. That affects the air hub, the larger hubs, and the feeders that deliver their loads to the centers. Then it affects Upstate's delivery portion of the business, and he can not leave the building until 9:45.
The one second here, when compounded throughout our system then becomes a much larger problem. Just like a screwed up dispatch can have a compounding effect on your delivery day.
Then add a bunch of IE folks to the mix, and inept dispatch folks........I say $333,333 is a bargain.
But again, Scott on costs is like Obama on new jobs and a healthy economy. Better watch the other hand.........

Yes you are right, I stand corrected. Just showing my bad calculator skills. I had to ask my 17 year old son to follow up, how sad is that. But I think we all get the point.An hour has 60 minutes. Each minute has 60 seconds.
So.......60 times 60 is 3600 seconds in an hour.
I think..........
I'm just a truck driver.........
it takes 30 seconds to go to water cooler get drink and back to work 10 milllion dollarsFigures lie and liars figure-----I believe you could juggle enough numbers on any UPS stat to prove any point - good or bad. I wonder how many millions will be wasted today standing around water coolers discussing this topic?
Comprehension was not a strong skill either........what was the point again?Yes you are right, I stand corrected. Just showing my bad calculator skills. I had to ask my 17 year old son to follow up, how sad is that . But I think we all get the point.
Logically, that should follow. But IE says that can not happen. So the plane sits on the runway until the pre-approve unload time set by IE. At that time, they are unloaded, sorted and loaded onto the trucks that seem to be forced to do 55 down the interstates. (just and observation)They pull up to the destination center to be unloaded by the preload that never gets to start earlier, regardless of how early the feeders manage to get them in. So the preload has to handle all the extra volume in the same amount of time because IE, says they should be able to. So the drivers end up leaving 15-20 minutes after their start time, which by the way over the years has been changed from 8:15 in the days before all this technology, to 9:05.What if there is a tailwind, the airplane get to the airport 5 min earlier, the trucks get to the centers 5 min earlier, the preload get done 5 min earlier, and the drivers get out 5 min earlier??????????????
If that happened everyday would the company make 100 million dollars more a year???
Thanks I always liked your wisdom(NOT). Read post 29 that's what the point was.Comprehension was not a strong skill either........what was the point again?
