You are correct on the $170,000 per year. I misremembered. My apology
Efficiency? I knew someone who drove a "Brownie" package delivery truck. He said that they had to keep the truck door key in their left pocket so when they unlocked the sliding door they could be sliding the door to the right with their right hand as they put the key back in their left pocket, saving time. I would have liked to see the math on that, saving say 1.5 seconds per stop times the number of stops made by all UPS trucks across the country.
UPS estimates they save 10 million gallons of fuel each year by avoiding left hand turns. “A left-hand turn is also less fuel efficient,” said Jack Levis, UPS Senior Director of Process Management, “because your car’s idling longer, which is also not good for your vehicle.”
A company with a decent size fleet would be wise to hire someone who has worked in management at UPS just to learn all the efficiency steps.
