[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 495574"] I agree that we need leads (we are being pushed for them as well), but I don't know that its all lack of leads that the package volume is down if that makes sense. Maybe there just aren't that many packages going out? I don't just mean for us, its likely the same for fed ex as well. You know their trucks were never full to begin with and I know for a fact they're even emptier now. BD and upper management make it sound like we're the only one this is affecting. I know fed ex has some major businesses but maybe they WANT to be there, just like some WANT to be with us. I know of a business in our area that was just simply happy with fed ex and didn't see any reason to change to us (they were contacted and visited by BD). I know that doesn't mean don't try but trying to convince drivers that theres this wealth of packages out there and they're just not doing their job is stupid. If theres that many packages out there then where are they? If our volume is down and fed ex is fielding empty trucks...where is all this mystery volume that is talked about? I'm just sick of hearing all the negativity at my building...yes I know its tough times but do you really need to kick all the drivers in the face at PCM before going out there over something I know a lot of have done (submit leads).
