[QUOTE="Seriously, post: 364154"] I'm trying to avoid the following scenario: 1) Gas stays at $4+ per gallon, maybe goes higher. 2) UPS can't significantly reduce fuel expense and has to significantly raise rates. 3) Volumes drops, full-timers laid off (non-management and management). 4) Laid off drivers wait years to get their jobs back. Management won't get theirs back. 5) Part-timers wait 5 more years for a full-time job. Something's going to have to change at the individual level in order to save fuel. Maybe it's time to stop breaking trace to get deliveries early to low volume accounts. The profitability of a given customer changes when you go from $2 to $4 or $5 gas. [/QUOTE]
