In order to reduce operating costs, there's a center in our area that is getting rid of the water cooler (the local water tastes like S%^T). I understand getting rid of the coffee/cocoa machines, but water? I understand the floor mat service (there is a lot of grease that gets tracked into feeder dispatch) too will be canceled.
Yet we have a feeder driver who almost lost a "set" in the local river, he destroyed a tractor when he laid down a triples set (inattentive driving according to the police report), has damaged landing gear beyond repair (dropping the trailers), and the latest he had a roll away which hit a parked passenger truck. All within 4 years. The Union doesn't like him-which would help UPS terminate him. IMHO he has lost more than what it costs for a coffee/cocoa machine. In due time, he'll end up killing someone.
