[QUOTE="overallowed, post: 665090, member: 5739"] What do you think they could actually do about it? I really don't see how they have gotten a "big chunk" of UPS's business. They have gotten a certain percentage of it, but that was going to happen anyway. During peak, I saw in the back of a fedex ground truck while I was at Walmart. At 11am, he had 3 half shelves left, and he covers the area of 5 ups drivers. During peak. Much was made of them taking the Walmart ground pickup business, which I don't see as a big deal. I could go a week and a half without picking up anything at the WM I deliver to. My guess is they were having to discount WM so heavily, they were losing money on it. Fedex is going to get a certain amount of ground business of ours, and I don't see how there is anything ups mgmt can do anything about it. [/QUOTE]
