[QUOTE="herbigharo32, post: 1507877, member: 19728"] Over the last several years, UPS has been playing alot of catch up on infrastructure maintenance/upgrades. That surely ate into the bottom line. Is raising prices necessary? Probably not. In the long run, keeping up the infracture is a good move. There was a point when half the work stations were in disuse at the hub I am in, no joke. Several peaks were very rough because of such. There still needs much work done in my hub. Best example are the package chutes leading down to the rollers. While loading trailers, many of these package chutes jams excessively necessitating a person doing NOTHING but breaking jams. Rollers in good working order, not badly worn and having the chutes retooled will allow the loaders to work more effectively. It would cost about $3,500.00 per dock to retool the chutes and replace rollers. The amount of time saved on wasted labor and damages caused to packages will pay off the investment within 6 months easy. [/QUOTE]
