LOL, my mother and sister avoid left hand turns at all cost. Mom started driving in 1965.

Heck, everyone who lived in California when I lived there knew the same thing - especially in Los Angeles where they still have very few sissy lights (i.e., left turn arrows). You may have to wait several cycles to make your turn.

As a logistics company with some 96,000 trucks and several hundred aircraft, much of UPS's business can be distilled to a series of optimization problems around reducing the amount of fuel used, saving time, and using space more efficiently.

That's not how it works at all. They raise their prices to whatever they want. They make huge profits. They don't pay their workers any money. Then they dump chemicals into reservoirs after they kick puppies.

They also never, at least almost never, back up. That’s pretty self explanatory but it’s a good policy for everyone. If you must reverse do it in as short a space as possible.

And slowly!!

FedEx and UPS are merging. They will be called FedUp.

UPS is properly pronounced “OOPS” based on the quality of their service. And the particular color of brown they paint their trucks is also highly appropriate.

A company that continues to go in circles will never grow beyond its current scope. It takes courage to venture out and make a left hand turn, it is neither a waste nor folly.

I’m sure that their the Democrats and its union thug allies will soon force UPS to change this policy because not turning left is something “anti-progressive.”
