[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 778938, member: 4777"] I remember when I was part time 20 years ago and hearing pcm's about how the postal service is taking ups volume and how we need to "ask" our family members who had jobs that shipped fedex or the usps for their business. Even if fedex went out of business today, ups would still find it necessary to cut routes and "get" volume from the ltl companies. I know it is natural to grow and this has to be done but no company in the shipping business asks for more than ups....nobody. We could be making 20 dollars an hour and it would be too much for ups. It is what it is. There are videos of old ups commercials that mention how ups next day air is 2x less expensive than fedex, yet they still were able to get a foothold on this company that had almost a 70 year head start....Im sorry to say this but someone royally screwed up. You can thank the culture of this company for that...and imo they are going down the same road right now with fedex... [/QUOTE]
