[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 602665, member: 12508"] Your scenario is certainly possible. But what happens if Ground isn't able to beat the court system and they become employees? Wouldn't that negate the savings advantage for dear old Fred? Also, if Express shifts XS and E2 volume over to Ground, won't those semi-premium products suffer given the low emphasis on service by Ground? I can envision a lot of shippers switching back to UPS in order to at least get it within a few days of it's scheduled delivery date. The Ground guy would look at the commitment date and just blow it off. I've heard similar talk from friends in management, but so far it's just talk. One of them insists that "major changes" are coming within the year, but that could mean almost anything. Good post. [/QUOTE]
