[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 862633, member: 927"] [b]Re: UPS AVOIDS DRIVING 63.5 MILLION MILES IN 2010...due to conservation and technolog[/b] Yes.... I think its a semantic thing.... Year to year, month to month, day to day, there are different amount of packages, stops and density. You look at at last year and say, "If we did nothing how many miles would we have driven?" That's hard to do. Often I use Stops per Mile for this. If stops per mile go up, then had nothing changed, we have reduced miles? There is no 100% accurate way to do this that I know of. Assume that 20 drivers each drive 100 miles per day historically. Now if through many means (including over dispatching) we put the same number of stops into 19 drivers. Even each of the 19 drivers added 3 or 4 miles, the center as a whole is down. Therfore, stops per mile are up.... So, reduced and avoided are really the same thing. I guess unless you could go back in time and run the same day again, avoided is the proper word. [/QUOTE]
