UPS and left turns.
We were sitting here watching Kathleen Madigan on YouTube and she mentioned that UPS does not make left turns.
Really? I need to look this up cause that sound like BS. Well, I'll be damned....it's pretty much true. Their policy for a long time and it seems to work.
I learned something new today.

UPS have designed their vehicle routing software to eliminate as many left-hand turns as possible (in countries with right-hand traffic). Typically, only 10 percent of the turns are left turns. As a result, the company claims it uses 10m gallons less fuel, emits 20,000 tons less carbon dioxide and delivers 350,000 more packages every year. The efficiency of planning routes with its navigation software this way has even helped the firm cut the number of trucks it uses by 1,100, bringing down the company’s total distance travelled by 28.5 million miles – despite the longer routes.
