[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 288008"] Tie, I'd like to see a list of all the companies that went bankrupt, not just the trucking companies. The trucking sector may be the worst but it is just one sector among many. First I'd cross off the list any companies that didn't have any Withdrawal Liability. They're blameless. Then I'd see how many companies paid off at least part of their Withdrawal Liability in bankruptcy proceedings, and I'd reduce their blame proportionally. Then I'd tally up how much Central States actually lost by trucking companies, and other companies, declaring bankruptcy. By the way, it always seems odd to me to hear a UPSer faulting other trucking companies for going out of business. Isn't it UPS' policy to drive these competitors out of business? Doesn't UPS want everyone to ship with us and not them? Doesn't UPS want to keep all of its customers, and gain all of theirs? Hasn't UPS steadily expanded its coverage area and services, especially including freight, in order to keep our customers and steal away theirs? Why is it their fault that UPS crushed them? [/QUOTE]
