[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1953519, member: 12508"] Bingo. In the past, you had a lot of interest in the purchase of Ground routes, primarily from investors/entrepreneurs who had never worked in the transportation industry, but some who had. Most potential buyers have little understanding about how capital intensive the delivery business is, and how easily you can be dumping big money into a losing proposition. FDX has structured it so they are always protected and will get a lion's share of the profits. Now, the numbers aren't really adding-up, and ISPs are going to be stuck with a business they can't sell, except at a loss. Remember all of those ads a few years back with Ground routes and vehicles going for bargain basement prices, [I]before [/I]FedEx ponied-up? Looks like it's going[I] [/I]to happen again...another cleanout. [/QUOTE]
