[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1133108, member: 24302"] Simple math...UPS pays more than twice what an average Ground guy makes so FedEx can charge less with more leeway if they choose to go after big UPS shippers. That reduces UPS volume and makes it more difficult to lower prices to compete as they are contractually bound to pay not only higher wages but very good benefits too, which Ground doesn't offer. Ground takes away enough volume with aggressive price structuring and UPS starts hurting. FedEx Ground is the Empire's Death Star. [/QUOTE]
