Quarterly Results

[Coldworld]

They are $100 here I think.

Damn...

 

[OPTION3]

UPS made $14.27 billion last quarter. They can afford mapbooks.

A goodly portion of which is because "upstate" came to work

And maybe a few new package cars and tape guns??

And real guns for protection from the yo boys on the corner and the Jack boys in the housing project stairwells. Sadly my state is very harsh on conceal and carry laws. Almost impossible to obtain.

Is that the map on that paper stuff?

Just some random figures but I was thinking say 85 pcs have 300 pieces averaging 10.00. 3000 a day minus 300 for labor 100 in fuel 100 on insurance and 200 saved for repairs. 2300 profit. That's 195500 day guessing at my center. That's nearly a million a week but I'm sure my figures are way out of whack. Since I'm not figuring the loaders pay and everyone's healthcare. They are worried about stops per car but in my opinion it should be pieces per car and work out the bulk to give everyone the hours they want. Some irregs alone pay for the days labor

I also think they shave 30 seconds off time allowance on 120 stops to plan in our lunches.

My state (depending on which county you live in) hands out concealed weapons permits like candy at Halloween. And if you can not carry concealed there is always the open carry option. As long as you are a white male who can speak good english you have to be given a permit to carry.

Its ridiculous that some people complain about buying a map book for a job when 99% of your uniform you don't even pay for unlike the rest of America that has to pay for clothes to wear to work but by God I make 90,000$ a year and I cant spend 75$ on a map book. smh

Its ridiculous with all the technology that's out there that the DIADS can't use GPS to help the driver.

 

[bumped]

You make $80K+ and can't plunk down $20 (tax deductible) for a map book?

I find I get paid even more without a map. I have no problem driving around until I find the street.

 

[bumped]

Why buy a map book when every smartphone has a map book built in it?

I'm not using my phone. The DIAD should be capable of giving me a map book.

Work harder and dumber not smarter. Let us know how that works for you in the long run.

 

[OLDMAN3]

Work longer and smarter... If a billion dollar company can't provide me with the tools to be productive (map book and/or phone) I will use the Columbus method...discover the street when I land on it. Driving in circles= fewer stops in my car.

Who is really working smarter?

 

[bbsam]

No they MADE about 1 billion.

Ok. A billion in the quarter compared to roughly $20k that the average driver made...yeah, UPS can afford mapbooks.

 

[ManInBrown]

Too make this kind of money, and not have a map screams unprofessional. Go buy a damn map if you don't have one.

 

[Mechanic86]

I didn't think it was taxed. Because you can also wright off the cost of new tools for the job.

Its considered a gift/bonus for tax purposes. You can write off tools but you only get that credit if it is higher than the standard deduction.

Yup....UPS can be quite unprofessional at times

 

[Browndriver5]

If ups bought everyone a map book that would be roughly 4.1 million. Not to mention all the air drivers. I don't expect a company that pays me way above the national average to provide me with a phone and map book.

 

[Browndriver5]

I mean come one guys. We don't pay for our insurance a full timer makes up to 100k a year. We have it made and you guys are honestly bitching about a map book

Don't fret about a phone, I hear Obama hands them out personally.

The one who is not driving around in circles.
