[QUOTE="OLDMAN3, post: 1714752"] RPS (founded by Roadway) was going strong long before our strike. In fact they had achieved a nationwide system by 1995. FedEx and RPS did not merge until 2000.

By 1990, 147 terminal facilities served 42 states. While UPS had 20 times the revenue of RPS, Roadway's subsidiary had carved a healthy niche out of a growing segment.
