Who fucking cares how much less CO2 UPS uses? The whole climate change/CO2 issue is a scam.

Compare the power of the president to the power of the senate majority leader. As it seems like now and in recent memory he has had more power

Here’s an idea: why do some slow drivers insist on driving in the left lane & what is the annualized cost to society for their behavior? Also, why do people stop their shopping carts in the middle of the aisle and how can they be so oblivious to the other people around them shopping who want to get by? It would seem to be an evolutionary disadvantage to be so unaware of other humans nearby.

What about: “How long time can a republic exist, when its elections are rigged?” There has to be a scientific answer to that question. I want to see some formulas and background knowledge.
Its an easier turn for drunks to make..... and you're less likely to spill your drink.....
Doesn’t work like that anymore.
Why UPS Trucks Almost Never Turn Left? Because turning RIGHT is always the RIGHT way.
But I saw few times where UPS turned left xD
Watching in the city watching 3 ups trucks turn left.
I turn left in my ups truck almost 50% of the time
My brother died from a vicious hamster attack... it should be taken seriously! Over 100 000 people die from vicious hamster attacks every year and over 500 000 other victims have been put in wheelchairs or have a physical disability. Thanks for listening to this PSA for legal reasons this is a joke.
4:27 ... thank me later
They turn left on my road all the time
Cant be the only one who knew the answer from seeing the title

Long answer: this video short answer: Because left is never the right way
rule 1: its not profitable to sign up to nebula only

Oh god im left handed help
After watching this video I started watching the UPS trucks... I've only seen them turn left. I think they're broken.
What if I was a UPS driver that WANTED to kill a group of pedestrians?
Wrong. Down my street the only way to get back to main road is to take a left
In the US, traffic law states that you can always turn right on crossings if there's nobody coming, even during red light if there's no designated right turn traffic light. From that perspective, it would be fuel efficient, and from an logistical view, it's far better to optimize routes with less turns. However, in Europe, UPS and the big parcel shipping giants (DHL, GLS, DPD) have come up with an idea to just cut off the cost of a route manager and the whole optimization story, as well as cut off the costs for the fuel and the drivers. Instead, they outsorce the shipping to customers completely to "partners", who earn money per package and employ drivers paid on a fixed wage, who work from e.g. 4am until they're finished. With the example of 120 stops, they'd be finished by late afternoon approximately. Imagine driving straight from 7am till 6-7pm, without extra pay, without any other benefits, often without break because it takes time.
That tinder thing was too accurate
why dont you like me why am i cursed to be left handed
Most lorry/truck ‘roadkills’ in Denmark are made by turning right, ignoring (or dont notice) the woman on a bike.
He’s right.
Has anyone seen my sandwich?
As a delivery driver who is averaging 320 stops/day, I can confirm this is a complicated process, but our DIADs do not reduce any left turns in my area at least. I make just as many left as right, but it does have us backtrack on the route which is also supposed to be restricted....
you just lost all your left handed subscribers
This is only for Countries that drive on that right side of the road I am from a country that drives on the left
Not informative. Should explain better how come trucks from single point all go left, if they need to deliver to the place that is located in opposite direction.
Very useful information
this is extremely offensive as a nascar driver
Isn't driving with open door dangerous?
Screw the left. They're thieves.

Ups: throws my package 📦

“Why UPS trucks never turn left” That was random but ok
Good luck doing this in Europe since grid systems are very uncommon and roads go wherever they feel like.
Interesting, thank you for sharing. God bless and have a wonderful day

So this channel is basically wendover productions, but with silly jokes and annoying background music?
Becouse they are opposite of nascar
So this is why packages take so long to deliver
If you take every right turn you will not turn left

Viscous hamster is the next big threat after China
I worked with a fellow who would never turn left. HIs reason was for safety; he knew every statistic on left hand turn accidents. It was so annoying constantly circling city blocks with right hand turns only. Finally I told him either I drive, or we take two vehicles.
Video starts at 4:25
99% of the video trying to be funny, 1% trying to answer why ups doesn't make left turn. Jump to 4:20 for the answer.
Half of the video is half interesting
But In my country it’s safer to turn left
As the kid say these day: "Right is always right"
Wow, never realised that
Annoying narration. Stick to the facts. Stop telling unfunny jokes.
Idk what he’s talking about we take left turns all the time
4:23 or 1.75 playback speed. you're welcome. what about countries where left lane driving is the rule? their budget must be out of control. greedy corporate pigs!!!

"Why do UPS trucks never goes left." Me: Better question is why do UPS trucks never fly.
UPS: “We have a professional standards”

Gas is expensive when your company drives millions of miles a year,

This means in Britain they almost never turn right
4:09
I learned this from the UPS guys when I worked as a receiver. I thought about it and it made sense. Since then I've adopted it for my personal driving and find that driving is less stressful.
Everybody gangster till the ups truck turn left
Why is X on the right
*I let this comment before watching* Because they always go the right way
Because going left just doesn't feel right
3:13 yes there's since 2018 and I published it. The answer why there's something rather than nothing. Dunno myself why this breaktrough in science takes so long to spread.
I have been a UPS driver for 3 years and I can tell you this is objectively false
4:07 a ups truck turned left
Half as interesting: I believe the road scene at 2:16 must be from Norway.
