[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 1310731, member: 4653"] Think about it. Everyday my truck is busting out the sides with packages. I have a heavy industrial route and 35 pick-ups on top of the 55-65 commercial stops and 400+ pieces, which should be enough to turn a healthy profit if we pretended my route was a small business. But UPS throws another 65-80 residential stops on top of that. Do you ever see any of our competitors with loads or dispatches like ours? I'll help you out, the answer is no. Don't be fooled when a division or district manager gives a PCM crying that we are at a competitive disadvantage because UPS has to pay a union wage. The reality is we are in an incredible competitive advantage starting with the simple fact of our stop density and 1 driver doing it in 1/6th the area Fed-Ex ground does it in. Plus, it takes Fed-Ex Ground, Fed-Ex Express, and Fed-Ex Home Delivery to do the job of 1(one) UPS driver. If that's not a huge competitive advantage then I don't know what one is... [/QUOTE]
