[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 210429, member: 4777"] I would like to add a couple of things here. First, there have been times where fedex has cut our prices by 50%...is it me or does this scream lawsuit. Other companies sue when competion undercuts their prices by a certain percent, so has anyone heard of ups doing this. Second, there is talk of cutting expenses to keep more competitive, great idea, lets start with injuries, and part-time turnover...and auto accidents, between those three ups probably spends tens of millions a year....money that could be used for discounts, or whatever. Ups can only cut expenses so much, everyone on this thread has said that ups isnyt growing...untrue. Look at the freight, and international...both doing very well. NDA is always up quarter after quarter. Saleleads have nore than tripled since feb. Look on upsers.com for how many million new packages that is. I think that ups has done very well in the last 10 years against fedex onslaught....its nice to know that MANY of our customers have come back to us, that should say something about our drivers and service. We are holding back dhl, at least in my neck of the woods, and we are making huge gains in their backyard...international. I think ups needs to purchase a company that would help both logistics, domestic and international...something like tnt, or an exel type of company. I also think that ups needs to look at employee relations and realize that you cant always treat your people like **** and expect them to do things like saleleads, etc. I know this business is cutthroat, but management also has a duty to protect our volume, by not messing with pickup times, delivery times etc, etc.Not by following around drivers who are working hard, but maybe going out to customers to see how their business is doing, interacting with people.
