[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 1246176, member: 4653"] I'm all for the jobs too, but I think UPS is making significant money from Amazon packages even if only by those stops filling "holes" in the driver's route to give him stop density and efficiency. So say if UPS makes next to nothing on each Amazon parcel (let's go with 10 cents a parcel for sake of argument) and we deliver 1 million Amazon/per day (we deliver 14 million packages a day, right? and I'll bet 1/14th of my truck is Amazon every day, maybe?) this profits UPS $100,000 everyday. From 1 account. Not too shabby! And what I mean by filling holes is if you have an Amazon package that profits you 10 cents at house #32 on Main St. Then a delivery from another company going to #30,31,33, or 34 becomes much more profitable (fuel and labor costs now become negligible from the driver's account). Am I breaking this down correctly? Maybe?lol [/QUOTE]
