[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 464740, member: 927"] With DHL going under we are back to just us and FedEx. Right now, FedEx has a huge cost advantage with their classification of ground drivers and contractors. Their cost per delivery is fixed, and the estimates are that it costs them about 50% to 60% to put on a driver as compared to UPS. Organizing their drivers is good for BOTH UPS and the Teamsters. (I argue that its especially good for the Teamsters) Their cost advantage has allowed them to win a large % of the DHL volume. (they are getting about 1/2 of the volume) We have better service and have a better cash flow position. It would be nice to see the playing field on the driver side brought to equality. I guess we will see. P-Man [/QUOTE]
