[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 384659, member: 12570"] Short term contracts such as you have suggested would create uncertainty in our customers, especially our larger shippers, and would be terribly expensive to negotiate, ratify and disseminate for approval. Look what happened during the recent "situation" in Chicago re: CDW. Long term contracts of a reasonable length create stability. I personally feel contracts of 5 to 6 years are ideal in that they create the stability I spoke of above and allow both sides to analyze the pros and cons of the contract so that changes can be proposed, negotiated and implemented which hopefully serve the needs of both sides. Contracts of 10 yrs or longer do not allow for changes which may occur during that time to be implemented. For example, if our previous contract were a 10 yr contract, new language addressing technological changes (GPS) would not be implemented until this contract expired. [/QUOTE]
