[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 945716, member: 22880"] [url=http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/about/facts/worldwide.html]UPS: Worldwide[/url] UPS Daily Volume is 15.6 million pieces, of which 2.2 million are "air" (13.4 million non-air). Right now, FedEx Ground's 3.7 million daily pieces is 27.6% of UPS's non-air volume - comparing apples to apples, UPS non-air to Ground total volume (explains why UPS isn't in panic mode yet, but it is coming, given the 4% average growth rate in Ground's annual volume). If bbsam's source is correct (making a big presumption), then the 900,000 daily pieces that Ground is "expecting" would amount to 6.7% of UPS's current (as of 2010 - that is the data for UPS) non-air volume. Now... if UPS were losing 6.7% of its business come this summer, they'd know about it NOW. They would know that one of their major customers was switching to Ground. There hasn't been any news about FedEx grabbing a major account from UPS of late... If bbsam's source is correct about the increase in volume coming this summer to Ground, there is only one source that volume can come from. [/QUOTE]
