[QUOTE="newgirl, post: 785600, member: 30504"] I thought I read a post by a UPSer that UPS is using contractors to run some of their loads and taking runs away from their trailer drivers (not sure what they are called.) That's taking a play right out of Fred's playbook. As for reducing costs, I think that if you look at the economy as a whole, a lot of companies are making a profit by reducing costs, not by selling more stuff. We are doing the same thing. Making money by saving money is not a way to grow a company. X on the domestic side is kind of topped out. This project condor thing is the first new idea they have come up in a long time but is it going to take away from our other services? If, as a shipper, what am I looking for service wise? Is UPS SDA a popular service at UPS? Were customers asking for it? Will we keep E2? I wonder what the proce structure will be? Will it take away from E2 like SO took away from P1? [/QUOTE]
