[QUOTE="racerx, post: 57634"] Okay.. This string covers a whole bunch of topics that I would like to weigh in on. 1. The purpose of any business is to make money for the owners. Period. End of discussion. Whether it be a small, private company with a relatively few number of owners, or whether it is the largest package delivery company in the world with millions of owners that are known as shareholders. The purpose of a company is not to create jobs. Job creation is the result of a successful business. If the business is growing, it will take more people to continue that growth. If the business flounders, then there will not be any new jobs. 2. DHL and Fedex are not eating away at our volume! Wow, Rushfan, what a myopic view of our business. Do you really interpret the condition of our business by what happens on your route? In your Center? In your District? I believe what Isdrone was saying is that yes, we are currently doing well, but that does not mean that it will continue indefinitely. We should not get too comfortable with our current state of business and trade in the momentum that we have in our industry for a short term payoff. 3.
