[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 785602, member: 12508"] Fred has been outsourcing RTD work for years now, because he can do whatever he wants. UPS can only hire temporary drivers or contract work out during peak, when the regular workforce cannot handle the amount of freight. In short, their union contract protects FT work. When I was a RTD, our ramp had 6 overnight runs between our ramp and a ramp in a neighboring state. There are still 6 runs, but they're all handled by contractors because they're just a bit cheaper. quadro doesn't want to acknowledge just how much RTD work has been outsourced because it makes FedEx look bad. The RTD job has intentionally been cut-back to mainly part-timers who do only station runs, and not the inter-city hauls that used to be so prevalent. Like I said, quadro knows squat about trucking, and his ignorance really shows on this issue. [/QUOTE]
