[QUOTE="RustyPMcG, post: 776597, member: 30339"] So how do you define "do well"? I define it as a bigger bottom line. Perhaps as a PC driver all you care about is volume. More packages, more cars on the road, more drivers with less seniority, more job security. As an owner of a TUPSS, I'm concerned about this. I'm concerned that the price is so low that they won't give us our normal percentage of the shipping price. I'm concerned that even if they do, I'll be getting the same percentage of a smaller sale, and the increase in the number of sales won't make up for that. And I'm concerned that they'll market shipping on the Internet so heavily with this option that all I'll get is a drop-off allowance. I'm concerned that UPS will be increasing package volume, and funding it by cutting into my profits instead of their own profits. It might be a good idea. It might be a profitable idea for UPS. But I'm concerned that it's me and my peers that will be funding it in reduced gross sales, and reduced net profit. [/QUOTE]
