Fun with Math

Word Problem
solve the following:
Satellite Driver drove northeast at 80 mph with a truckload of rib eyes.
Covemaster drove southwest at 65 mph with a load of lobstahs.
DS drove south at 99 kph (kilometers in Canada) with a load of Labatts and Molson.
DILLIGAF drove east at 88 mph with a load of rattlesnake chili.
Drewed drove southwest at 120 mph with a load of Alaskan King Crab legs.

Would Stevetheupsguy make it to the party if he peddled his bike nortwest at a speed of 20 mph?

Extra Credit - How late would he be?

He'd be so late there wouldn't be any leftovers.


Call me anything just don't call me late to supper!

I need batteries for my calculator,
but as buff as Steve is,
he will probably beat us all there.

Your just assuming Steve is buff--there is such a thing as Photoshop you know

This is a trick question. There is only one answer, if they all met at a central point this would be one hell-of-a potluck!

 

[mattwtrs]

OMG I am laughing so hard I might pee my pants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's hope you have Depends on if you do!

 

[Covemastah]

Rod will be bringing the Depends,he knows all about that!!! lets not let mngmnt set up a meet point cuz we all know how that will go!!! They will tell you to meet up in Portland,and me ad BigBaboo will be in Maine and every one else will be in Oregon,but TIE will be in his office writing up warning letters!!!!!

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.
20 x 8 x 32 = 5120
20 x 3 x 48 = 2880

So UPS owes the 20 drivers 8000$ for there work + the cost of using 20 Package Cars + the cost of (miles x fuel).
8000$ + 20x + 20(y * 2.50$)

STAY WITH ME ALMOST DONE

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)
20 x 8 x 32 = 5120
20 x 1 x 48 = 960
5 x 8 x 25 = 1000
5 x 1 x 32 = 160

So UPS owes there drivers 7240$
7240$ + 25x + 25(y * 2.50)

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 (even if you go thru a full tank of gas and the cost of using a ups vehicle is 100$ a day) 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...

HEY COLLEGE BOY!!!!! UPS has worked this way for 101 years!!!! although it sounds strange the way it runs, WE MAKE MONEY AND TURN A PROFIT !!!!! now put down that pencil and paper before we put a hockey helmut on you and stuff you into a box car and ship you to Boston,and force you onto a preload job and send you to HARVAHD during the day then on the weekends we stuff you full of clam chowdah and make you watch Patriots games and get you down on your knees and make you kiss the feet of TED WILLIAMS statue at the SACRED BLESSED HOLY MOTHER of FENWAY PAHK !!!!!!!!!!!!! good god i love these young minds trying to re invent ups

Didn`t they make this into a movie? Something with Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman and you count toothpicks and cheat at blackjack and only get to drive your dads car on the driveway?

My center in positioned in between 6 rail crossings, so it happens alot, but brings up another question is why you would put a buisness that focuses on timely operations between 6 active railways.

Same people that ask you why you can't get your Air off when you used to start at 8:20 and now you start at 9:00.

I would love to bring Bratwurst, Sauer kraut and a 12 pack of Blatz. Those Depends would come in handy. BM

I had the same issue when I started driving. Not the numbers, just the senior drivers bitching. It takes time and one day you will see the trend start to change. It took me more than a year to get to the point that I didn't need help all the time.
It happens gradually, but it does happen. You will see.

Wayne Gretzky is better than Bobby Orr.

In fact, I would take Raymond Bourque over Bobby Orr.

The guy from "Perry Mason" and "Ironside" is better than Bobby Orr? Man that Orr guy must suck at baseball.
