As an insider it doesn't make much sense either.As an outsider I could never figure out why they were separate in the first place.

If your state hasn't flipped to ISP your best bet is to horse trade and get to scale before it get to the point of having to do it. That way your focus when it flips is scaling out in your terminal. More area you have the better the return as an investor. I'm set right now in my area with no other contractors and I'm running close to 1700 stops daily. 1200 stops in one terminal and 500 in another.
I'm not ISP I'm still IC I've just been building my stock up for the past 8 years. I have a 5:1 ratio with IC And a manger for every 15.DAMN. how many stops before the transition? Also just out of curiosity if you are running ground and hd how many supervisors/ managers do you run? Do you ratio 4:1 or something?
It's not really about the zip it's about the area. Two could be in the same zip as long as you own both HD and Ground. Like a split ziphow do they feel about making scale in a terminal but with zip codes that don't geographical touch?
and do you think all buildings will turn co location soon ?

Not too many that I know of. I have grown roughly 40% in two years, granted I am half the size of you but I'll take that as a win all day long. Maybe I can be fortunate enough for 33% year over year in the near future.
No.Would you please leave some for us?

I want a bigger bigger piece.Haha. You guys still have too much of the pie. I just want a little bigger slice
SupplementAlso suck in transition.I'm growing 3-4 trucks year over year in IC terms bad because we all know sups lose money. But with that growth in ISP at least I will get to show my numbers and what it cost to run. I've been keeping track of all my numbers and growth the past 3 years. This last quarter I grew 24% over last year and this is suppose to be our light months. I have route coordinators and mangers that love what I have created because they have an opportunity that they wouldn't have had at express and ups. Those guys are you and go getters. Bad contractors give bad reps and it's a shame. I wish Pittsburgh would send up good contractors to talk and discuss what needs to be done. If it was for our drivers none of us would be where we are now. But it also takes good contractors to build the corporation up to great standards. In time their will be more contractor/business owners that run it legit.
What's funny in the U.S. we actually own more in the delivery sector than UPS. They own the ground sector but bad Fred so they say is a genius and know what the hell he is doing. http://www.wsj.com/articles/fedex-makes-bid-for-tnt-express-1428384931Haha.
