I think buying DHL would cost a fortune and would be a mistake for our bottom line! Unless we buy them and take the accounts and shut them down.....
UPS FREIGHT is costing a fortune to operate. Lousy equiptment and drivers expecting to get paid what UPS'ers get....
Not sure if this would be good in a retracting market![/QUOTE
Earlier this year, new century transportation had the "opportunity" to buy jevic transportation (owner of new transportation had started jevic years earlier before selling it ) Instead, new century waited for jevic to go bankrupt , cherry picked the best drivers and the best accounts and left the garbage accounts for central transport to take. Ups can do the same here and to some degree is already grabbing some of the accounts and probably some of the dhl account reps.
This is so true. I remember hearing customers asking their vendors "Can you FedEx it UPS?" I thought UPS made a major mistake in calling our overnight service "Next Day Air". Talk about boring. I suggested early on (I was younger then and actually thought the honchos might listen to a nobody. Kinda embarrassing to think about now.) a name change to "UPS Jet". To my thinking, it kinda rolled off the tongue a little easier, and conveyed a sense of speed and urgency. "Send it UPS Jet!" As usual, I was ignored.
Very true. Has anybody noticed the new USPS commercials stating they now have no fuel surcharge? We are raising rates 5.9%? Man, we are pushing it.The thing most people are forgetting is that these businesses and accounts went to DHL for a reason. Price is a factor and that UPS didn't take care of them. The bigger we get the more we brush aside the little people. The strike hurt and with Fedex and USPS running on full steam at the moment, these people have other options.

Did any of you all get your new delivery notices today? We had to turn in all the old ones and they actually went through my truck and took any old notice's I had there.
WOW
They won't stop until all our mechanics have to graduate from NASA !!!!
And yet they will still use only the following two phrases:
OK to run. The Uranium is only at half-life , we will repair at 128,000 years
Parts on order. We are still waiting for our shipment of split-atoms from the Large Hadron Collidor
Most of these new hybrid vehicles are more costly to make than a standard gas burning vehicle. With fuel costs now dropping like a rock, where is the incentive to invest in vehicles that will just cost you more money? The bottom line is profit, not making friends with environmentalists.
We found out monday that it seems to be only south Florida and New York that are only doing the return after 3rd attempt ground.HUH???? We got rid of the spanish delivery notices about 2 months ago and went to one simular to the ones before that(if that makes sense). Now they got rid of those and have the one stating(on the back) your pkg will be returned after the 3rd attempt. The new notices seem to be a little confusing unless you read them closely.Why does UPS continue to change the info-notice to make them progressively more difficult for our customers to understand?
Three versions of the info-notice prior to this one was very straight forward in my opinion. The simple message written on these small notices was still difficult for our customers to comprehend.
For example, the driver would check the box "the UPS driver requires a signature in person" and our customers would still sign the back of the notice expecting to get the package left. In other cases, the driver would leave a note at attempt 1 and 2 with the C.O.D. amount and shipper information and the consignee still asks for the C.O.D. information on the 3rd attempt when he finally realizes its his last chance to pay for it.
With this knowledge in hand, UPS makes the info-notices more ambiguous than ever.
First UPS makes them larger by adding spanish to them. Was it really necessary to print spanish on the info-notices?
I can count to 10 in spanish and thats about it. I would still be able to decipher an info-notice written 100% in spanish and what I needed to do to get my package. I think UPS needs to drop the spanish wrtiting on the info-notices.
I live near a large korean population and very little hispanics, should korean be written on our info notices too? Where do we stop? We speak ENGLISH in this country, the notices should be written in ENGLISH ONLY. GOOD GRIEF.
On top of all this, they twisted the words in a way that its not clear which is the "sig. req. IN PERSON" box is and which box the "signed del-notice" is acceptable TO THE DRIVER?
Why can't UPS leave well enough alone???

Steve was this the same for you guys also? I wonder what they did with all the old delivery notices? Alot were still newMaybe sent them to ctr's not on this program?Wow, that's interesting. Maybe we're just the testing area to see how well this works.
