[QUOTE="doctor brown 688, post: 303817, member: 13203"] frombluetobrown, I'll use a few examples from my own ctr. that reminded me of when I used to work on a military installation. 1) Water valve on emergency shower 700 dollar not including labor and took months to get installed. 2)Had roll around steel covered docks for peak season made for thousands then shoved them over the hill after peak,then had them hauled off.Same with temporary metal shelves for rental trucks.Was told by corporate they had to be disposed of because they couldn't be sitting on property(like we won't have peak again?)3)I've seen them pay two people to go around and make pick ups to keep from showing one of the drivers on road(feeder p/u's where a package driver goes with him and sheets the p/u's in diad),numbers game to make package sups numbers better, but spent twice the money.4)Feeders can't idle tractors because of excess fuel cost, but daily we leave overhead doors open on the local sort with the heat on full blast,just because we want the drivers off the clock as soon as possible instead of taking a couple extra minutes opening and closing a door? 5) Spending "excess" money at years end so they can get that money in the next years budget.The list goes on and on. May be a bad choice of words, but like I said reminded me of an old job I had for a contractor on a base. [/QUOTE]
