Ramifications of UPS Freight picketing UPS Package Facilities?

[Coldworld]

That's still a profit and pretty good scratch considering acquisitions. I don't think they're as profitable as they'd like to be.

Maybe if they had a few cute female drivers that might help. I've been at businesses where there have been a few cute over the road women truckers there and I'm pretty sure two weeks later the guys at those businesses were still talking about the "hot a@@" girl truckers...

UPS Freight Profits

2012- 728M

And if Freight keeps this trend? Based upon profits, is the complaint of equal raises to the UPS contract valid? 700 million vs 4 billion.

I didn't say that the pay raises they were asking for was valid. Just saying 3/4 of a billion dollars in profit isn't anything to sneeze at. Yes, they need to relax in this contract because I believe freight will profit hugely. UPS kinda knows what they're doing. But only kinda.

If they want the same raises make them save those damn zz top beards and goatees that most of their motley Crew wears...no wonder they get no business..look like a bunch of hillbilly thugs..just my opinion, your area might be different

The numbers are much greater for freight as far as profit taking in consideration that freight only has 12,000 employees.
How many employees does package have?

One customer does not a business make.

It is my understanding Monsanto is the Amazon for freight. High volume shipper, BD refers to them as one of UPS Crown Jewel accounts.

What is worth more, a company that has 1 billion employees that profits 1 billion dollars or a company that has 1 employee that profits 50 million? Read carefully!

It's all pink inside?

I wonder if the package guys understand that the new LHD division will take feeder work away from them?
It has been explained that LHD linehaul will pull both UPS Freight and UPS Package loads, it will not be good for either division.

So who's getting it? Both sides are complaining the same issue.

UPS Freight Profits 2011- 736M 2012- 728M __________ (-8M)

This is not the profit for UPS Freight. This is the profit reported (prior to adjusting for pension related issues "Mark to market") for all services that fall under
"Supply Chain and Freight". The LTL revenue was only 2.377 billion in 2012. The revenue for Forwarding and logistics is almost 6 Billion dollars. The total revenue for this bucket was a bit over 9.1 Billion. For that same 9.1 Billion in revenue UPS made 736 Million which is around 8% profit margin. Typically the Logistics business is much more profitable (percentage wise) then LTL.

This came from the UPS annual statement (pg 31).

Yes the LHD once it is in they will pull trailers for all divisions. That includes freight, parcel, truckload and cartage. UPS will never have to hire a Road Driver again at Freight if this new division is started, something to think about.

I don't remember any but I was out delivering packages most the time anyway.

did you take out one of those 10 cubes with only 20 packages in it like our managers did
