UPS to save $600m
They say they'll save $600m annually by:
1) pre-loading trucks in the morning
2) routing trucks according to volume
3) favoring right-hand turns
OK, wait, they didn't already pre-load trucks and route them according to volume? Doesn't this make sense?
What is really interesting is 3). I guess all that extra time waiting around at left-hand lights can add up, huh.
