[QUOTE="stink219, post: 1143363, member: 29852"] 100% correct. Another issue I have with UPS's "paid day" is their ignorance to using weight of packages. In the simplest calculation for work the calculation is J=NxD. Joules = Newton(weight) x Distance. So a box that is 14lbs carried 30 feet is 420 joules or units of work.

UPS pays good money to theses execs that analyze numbers. Imagine if they employed a physics major? [/QUOTE]
