[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 730502, member: 24302"] But you always leave out the part that UPS is a much larger company, much heavier volume, costs per pkg is much less due to them trucking most of their freight. That allows them to pay their drivers more and still have a good profit. FedEx costs per pkg are higher due to flying most of the freight. Yes, they are both delivery companies but how they go about it is vastly different. And FedEx isn't going to change their business model because while UPS is the much bigger company, FedEx is by far the biggest overnight service. This is their niche, which FedEx created, and the company isn't going to give it up to compete head to head with a larger, well established company. It's much more realistic to say if you want more money you are going to get a job at UPS than it is to say FedEx is going to have to give you comparable UPS pay and benefits. It's just not going to happen. Certainly you are intelligent enough to see that, but are so entrenched in your position that you can't admit you are wrong after all your posts saying otherwise.
