Growth will not be the same as it has with Amazon and the USPS taking a larger share of B2C packages which are smaller and lighter.
We will get all the furniture, trampolines, and other incompatibles that your heart desires, and you know as well as I that those will kill your utilization.
There goes the small margin some may enjoy.
