[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 549106, member: 22662"] crush fedex? no more mr nice guy? what lsd induced coma are you coming out of? the thing that amazes me about this sight is the absolutely blind assertions that ups could dominate fedex at will. as if ups hasn't tried that in the past. you speak of being bigger and better, an opinion shared by many, but not by all, neithelr opinion being proof of anything. why is it good to be smaller? in this economy, we at fedex have a larger base of potential shippers, namely yours. while express volume is drastically down ground continues to gain market share. if and when express loses it's rla exemption, don't think for a second fred doesn't have a plan b. express is already a skeleton of what it used to be and ground is filled with contractors itching to devour that volume. think of it. the rla exemption is the only thing making the fedex model of separate companies attractive. remove that and in a matter of time express and ground merge but with hard to unionize contractors instead of teamster drivers. and then fedex still gets off cheap. and if all fedex companies were to combine under that contractor model, efficiency would increase as well. with a little imagination, your blind assertion of bigger and better sounds silly, but it would require thinking three steps down the road.
