YRC kill themselves. Have they bought a tractor since 1992?I had heard they were offering a 90/90 discount on LTL freight trying to finish off YRC.
90% discount for 90 days.

Didn't work for FedEx or Conway. Put both of them in the red actually while they were pulling that shot. I believe Conway's CEO stepped down/resigned because of itI had heard they were offering a 90/90 discount on LTL freight trying to finish off YRC.
90% discount for 90 days.
Last I heard YRC's customers were all going back to them.They're busy. They're going to need it. They're in a hell of a lot of debt and the equipment needs to be updated.
I've seen new tractors and trailers going down the road, but not nearly enough.
They're not what they used to be, but they're still union. Godspeed.

And we were dropping 20-30 cases of reg and legal size per customer because OD offered free shipping on X amount of case orders.
Where I would del 90 stops on my metro route in 5 1/2 hrs I could barely get 58-65 off during that sale fiasco. It only lasted a few months.

I like this idea-----can I lose my UPS Store, even just for Peak?

Sure. Give it to one the newbies that will soon be telling us how great they are and how we do our job all wrong.

Maybe the mail carrier can pick it up and deliver it to UPS.
They can call it SureUPS. Bring it up in your next BD meeting.

I had a well known print shop chain try to give me 2 return toner cartridges with the same ARS label printed twice. I showed it to the manager and asked her to print another one out when she got a chance. The toner box sat there like a week then they put a different ARS label on it so I finally grabbed it.

A UPS store could possibly make me not bid a route. I used to have to sweep a UPS store every monday for a neighboring route and geez they'd have like an entire 20 x 20 foot room stacked to the ceiling and sometimes their whole customer area would be piled up too.
You would think someone would require UPS Store franchisees to only lease locations with an available loading dock.

QVC? Really?

Slow & steady wins the race.
My sentiments exactly!! I hate that
! And 9 times out of 10, it's loaded on my truck damaged and I end up having to pick it back up several days later. I long for the days when all I delivered was JC Penney, Victoria's Secret, and Spiegel bags.

Yeah, man... those bags. They don't fit on the shelves too well. We don't need 'em!
I'll take a truck full of QVC everyday please
Well, except for the recliners and air-conditioners.

I have never been particularly fond of delivering trampolines. Words cannot describe the joy of spending half a day or more crawling over and working around one that is laying in a beat-up heap in the middle of the floor.
Their only saving grace is that one can usually just back up to the garage door and pitch them overboard onto the driveway. DR-GAR and you are outta there. They are too damn heavy to steal and it wont hurt them to get wet.
