[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 488838, member: 927"] I strongly suggest logging into UPSers.COM and read Casey speeches from previous management conferences. There's a lot to learn there. In the past, our competition was the post office. We were the new kid on the block. Our service was better and prices lower. We were growing, so mistakes were hidden by our growth. This growth led to our arrogance. We did NOT react when RPS started taking away our ground volume. Then FedEx took over RPS and became a true competitor. We are no longer the growing, cheaper company we were before. We can't compete on cost. A FedEx ground driver costs between 50% to 60% of what a UPS driver costs. So, competition is much, much different today than when I started. Its time to understand that. Its time to understand that UPS is NOT the enemy. Its the competition that we need to go after. Every package that goes to FedEx goes to a non union worforce. Believe it or not, like it or not, packages for UPS means union jobs. P-Man [/QUOTE]
