[QUOTE="upsdawg, post: 56162"] Well, for the > 30 years that I have worked for UPS, we have always been concerned about competition----and it will never change!! Competition is not bad---it makes us better...everyone, management and hourly alike. Regarding UPS making record profits---where do you think that we get the monies to aquire the Menlo Logistics/Overnite/Lynx companies--profit is not a bad thing....actually it is very good for "All" of us shareholders. ok2bclever------- dawg, if we are losing to our competitors it is being caused by management decisions and poor business development strategies far more than drivers complaining about over dispatch. management decisions and poor BD?? How about the competition being able to charge/offer much lower rates because their costs are less--as in they don't have the burden of paying union wages and benefits---this is a poor UPS management decision that allows them to to that?? It is everyone's business to protect our current business and continue to grow it and keep our competitors from taking any more market share away from us.I remember REA--I remember the stacks of packages that customers had designated to be shipped REA and the UPS pile was 1 and 2 and than 5 and before you know it,we had it all and REA was a memory--I am not saying this to indicate that the sky is falling----but to "watch our back"!!
