[QUOTE="just chillin', post: 802778, member: 33261"] sure can. this is my vision of UPS in the next ten to fifteen yrs. automated scanners and label machines will eliminate all or most of the manual scanning PAS jobs. address corrections will be done via computer way before the package reaches the building eliminating clerk jobs. trucks that monitor themselves as far as oil and water plus computer programs creating boxline setups for the next day and telling the driver what bay to park in will eliminate most car washer and shifter jobs. eliminating those type of jobs will halt any seniority movement of drivers which in turn eliminates openings for partimers to drive. current economy and housing market is slowing down guys retiring which further slows down seniority movement. now lets move on to air drivers. word is ups and fedex came to a handshake deal to change NDA commit time to 12 P.M. this will eliminate most if not all "combo" or partime air drivers which was a good step for a partimer to go fulltime or at least make some decent money. and last but certainly not least we have our new worst enemy. UPS MAIL SOLUTIONS. we pick package up from shipper> sort and transport package to destination area> deliver to local post office along with hundreds of others> post office delivers to residentual address. word is that's going to get huge and eliminate tons of retail deliveries. add all that up and all i see is ups profits going up while the workforce goes down. and that's big business. yes there will always be partime jobs available at UPS because of the enormous turnover rate. but fulltime careers? meh...no way.
