What do you think UPS will look like 20 yrs from now. Larger/Smaller. Union/Non-union. Will it go the way of REA and cease to exist?

Larger with most of the growth internationally. Non-union because of the general apathy of the American workforce.

Less US drivers but larger workforce Internationally.
Logistics will be a larger revenue generator than US Ground Small Package.
UPS will have a different makeup in regards to which units generate revenue and profit.
UPS will have many business units providing goods and services that don't even exist today.

I will have invented the teleporter which will transmit all packages directly to the receiver. It will make me fabulously wealthy and you will all be my brown suited minions. Except for a select few of the most eligible females which will be welcomed into my harem. Tryouts begin immediately,please forward your applications and photos.

Until then...keep your hands full of cardboard and think about the question at hand.
1. PAS/EDD will finally be fixed.
2. DIAD 10 will be in use.
3. Stock will still be under $65 a share
4. The drivers will finally get new uniforms
5. The airline mechanics will still be without a contract
6. My Package Car will finally get washed
7. Only a few P-800s will still be left in service

Cardboard is moved by the trailer load in my neck of the woods so I have time to dream. But thanks for letting me off with a warning Officer Forum Patrol.
8. The "scheduled for repair" day will arrive.

Robots will deliver the packages and we will just drive eliminating workers comp claims. Drivers will be micro-chipped and monitored during the day from a satellite in space with building penetrating gyroscopic visual radar.
Fed EX will be eliminated due to bad business practices and a political backlash of their business exemptions when brought to the public attention. The USPS will be delivering 5 days a week with minimal parcel capacity due to demanded tracking requirements, UPS will command a 70+ share of the market. The Government will step in and call us a Monopoly, just because we are better than the competition. UPS Corp will sell the package division, (eliminating 65% of their current mgmt) to maintain their logistics operation, and the core reason UPS was able to become the company they are will be divided to numerous regional operations that will have their own self interest at heart. In the end the company as we know it will splinter and shatter into something we will no longer recognize.

ups will reap the harvest from the seeds they sew. ups is not sewing any seeds now. so they will not be harvesting. drivers are only being dispatched to cover current deliveries with just enough time to do deliveries. we are not allowed to sew any seeds. so i predict if this current trend continues and we are continually harvesting and not sewing, we will not have any thing to harvest in the future.

I agree with Hoax in that parcel delivery will be just a small part of the overall business plan for UPS. SCS, logistics, UPS Capital and development of international volume will all be key players in our success.
