[QUOTE="DS, post: 321097, member: 556"] DHL is doing ok in Canada,they pick up 3 pkgs,we get the other 350. The DHL deiver in my area is a nice guy,one day I was walking in a recieving door with a good handful of boxes,and he says to me(in jest) , hurry up man,youre costing me money,I said NO! you go first, you are [I]making[/I] me money.The fedex ground dude where I am is a nice fella too,he flagged me down awhile back and asked me if I would take a ups pkg he found in his load,I said of course,like he thought I might say no/? Weve lost quite a few accounts to fedex ground,mostly heavy domestic shippers.Our biggest enemy up here is purolator.They are owned by the post office,which is owned by the government.Recently a huge security company with armoured cars moved into my area.I did the pickup for two weeks,and it was a very interesting experience with skids of gold bars and guys with shotguns ,but purolator jumped in with lower rates as this was only for domestic shipments of money boxes ,bags,etc. Our pcm's are all about international sales leads,and in my opinion we are losing ground by letting them have it because it costs too much. IMO if we concentrated more on customers and less on the cost involved,in the end thier confidence in us as the most reliable service offered will be noted and remembered by them.Sorry if I went on and on and tethered away from the main topic.
