[QUOTE="whenIgetthere, post: 933470, member: 32741"] In my job back in the 80's and 90's, I worked for a very small company that shipped about 200 pcs. a day. Towards the end of my time there, I also worked at Fedex Express at night. Part of my job was negotiating rates with UPS, Fedex and RPS (then fredx Ground when that sale went thru). Even though I worked for Fedex, I usually got the best rates from UPS, so they would get the business. I remember one Fedex saleman giving me a hard time about giving freight to the competition, so I told him when I'm off the clock, Fedex was the competition, too! My manager would have me play UPS and Fedex off each other to get the best discounts, and we were just a small company. Can only imagine the extent the large corporations do this, now! I will say one thing, after fred bought RPS, Ground NEVER got any business from us. [/QUOTE]
