SPC is something that is easy to understand in a shareholder report and at shareholder meetings. Management accounting is so flawed.If a driver delivers out of a trailer, those 15 stops are included in the SPC numbers. When the same driver goes to do pickups, the stops and pieces go to the feeder department.In our center, instead of having 3 trailers delivering, there is one. The stops that used to be trailer stops are shoe-horned into package cars. On the pickup side, we have drivers that are picking up 6 skids, sometimes more from one shipper, because if a feeder does it, the center does not get credit for the them.I could not be a manager at UPS.</blockquote>
