Today I heard about a Central Florida building that beats it all!
Every car was dispatched and of course, a breakdown happened.
The driver managed to get back to the building and there were no more cars.
The center manager wanted to get a rental to put him back on the road quickly.
The rental would have been around $ 100.00 and it was denied.
Instead, UPS called a wrecker to go to Orlando, pick up another vehicle and take it there. The last time a tow went that direction it was around $500.00
The driver then had to reload into the new car and did not leave until app 15:30.
The delivery area was about 45 minutes away and most of the work had to go to other drivers to make service. I cringe to think of the overtime involved.
I was told that the affected driver got back around 22:30 tonight.
One can well calculate the extra cost that UPS chose to incur due to this. Literally, they stepped over well over $500 plus to save $100.
Whose head should roll?
