[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 1236189, member: 7966"] 1) Buildings are usually over capacity for a 1 month period. 2) The shippers always negotiate on price ... service levels are secondary in concern if at all included in negotiations or contracts. 3) Service failures while regrettable are of no real concern to the customers that pay for the service ... they understand that carriers' capital investments in infrastructure to handle peak volumes will drive up their costs and that is their major concern. 4) You were lucky, facilities are usually 100% utilized when opened (especially since new facilities are opened in October or November). 5) Long-term projections is for UPS ground volume to decrease therefore: Maintaining = yes ... Expanding = no Hoax POV) The business landscape is littered with companies (or their remains) that overbuilt capacity. The capital and operational costs to add a new building is extremely expensive for UPS. Adding drivers (staffing) is what drives adding buildings. I understand your frustrations from your viewpoint but it simply is not going to happen except for isolated areas where new growth is occurring. [/QUOTE]
