[QUOTE="FrigidAdCorrector, post: 1654704"] Yep we do. But they charge up the rear for it. I'm pretty sure they utilize passenger airline flights to get it from A to B, there's no way they use our aircraft for it. But it comes down to what are we going to charge if we were to do this for Amazon? They're charging 5.99 for the service. Even if we charge 4x more than that (which I mean, we pretty much have to) we are losing money on it. The beauty of our structure now is we have set routes so you know you're going to get there at some point in the day. With this, you can't, it's a cluster. You're paying drivers to hop all around town all day. You'd need some serious volume for it to make sense. We can make the prices Amazon pay us work now because we are picking up feeders and feeders worth of volume at one time that they load. I highly doubt we are going to fill a package car with that, never mind a feeder. [/QUOTE]
