[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1109648, member: 24302"] No one is saying Express is going away, just that there will be less volume for Express so eventually they'll be paying people free money if they keep the guarantee. I'm not saying Express Saver is going away either, just saying that shippers will be made aware of the cost savings of Ground and more freight will go Ground, often at the expense of Express. As for the cost of hiring and training, look at the difference in pay between a newhire and topped out couriers. They'll make back the cost in a year or so. If you are counting on things remaining the same you may be very disappointed. They aren't going to almost double profits by 2016 without major structural changes. And be skeptical of anything said by management. They need you to remain in place until they don't need you. Tell me why I was told over 14 years ago that I'd top out in 7 to 8 years, which didn't happen, and according to some coworkers with low seniority they were told the same? They'll say anything to keep you at it. [/QUOTE]
