[QUOTE="twoweeled, post: 2254001, member: 27108"] I'm in agreement with you. Although as Monkey Butt and I talked about earlier - I think it'll be a lot easier now for the company to recover. Like you, I see they would literally have to hire at least 2 to 1 to replace package drivers. They could rent twice as many rentals, but that alone will make already slow drivers, much slower!! You can't get rolling in rentals. But even if they were willing to rent, rentals - a lot of these buildings can't facilitate twice as many cars. Sure, they'll start putting trailers with rollers everywhere. But that just won't work very well, if at all. It will be a circus. Just don't know for how long. Service is no longer much of a concern, so that's a small problem now. But Orion I think really changes things. I've not worked with it, so I'm assuming here. But if it's able to lead drivers around, that is bound to be a big help. On the other hand. Fedex will be better prepared too! They will also, not make the same mistakes they made the last time. They will pick up business, and not lose as much. They will service better than last strike of 97. Will the company risk that? Probably, but I wouldn't bet my life on it. It will be either strike, or get ready for the screwing of your life! Oz Nelson? So different than the CEO's we see now. Sad to me. [/QUOTE]
