[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 1094697, member: 4932"] That's what REA thought. When I was in high school, they were a big deal. By the time I was a driver, they were in effect, dead. Ever see that picture of the rusted out REA truck? Used to hang a lot of them around the district offices... Get this through your head: NO COMPANY is too big to fail. If it is well run, and financially sound, it may take a while. But if it is not cost competitive, eventually, it will run out of customers. UPS is well run, and financially sound. But FedEx has a huge cost advantage, and UPS needs to meet that competitive issue. The IE guys have squeezed about all the efficiency they can out of the operating plan. There's not much blood left in that turnip. Certainly not enough to overcome FedEx's contractor model. [/QUOTE]
