[QUOTE="TeamLift, post: 1412726, member: 54974"] The point I was making was that at my hub contractors used to have a say as to how much of the overage at peak they wanted to assume, the rest fell on FedEx to hire temps, pay them, rent vans and so on. Now since they have thrown a few more pennies at the contractors for the supplementals they will have to assume all of it even if they don't want it past a certain point. If you get 75 more stops than you want, tough, hire the temps yourself. With rookie drivers driving new rental vans and bringing back 40 packages a day I don't know if it will be worth it. 3 years ago when I was hired as a temp there were 18 of us hired in just one day. Now there will be none. And no, Ground does nothing at peak, their volume doesn't change much at all. At a certain point the larger packages will be diverted to ground that we normally would handle in HD, so that they can cram as much in our vans as possible, but that's about all for Grounds contribution.
