Why I Think UPS Is Great.

If that's so, he's in for a rude shock when the new FedEx Ground contractor agreements go nationwide.

In California, the FedEx Ground route owners get big and scared when I talk to them about it.

They used to make the bucks, but now they know they won't make as much, but they don't know just how much less yet.

We made that transition four years ago. Where have you been?

UPS runs the tightest ship in the industry.

No room for slackers.

Tightest ship = Orion = lol.

The ship might be tight but someone has a screw or two loose.

In California, because of a successful lawsuit, they are transitioning now.

And the route owners are nervous.

And they have reason to be. I on the other hand, have done ok in the new model. First couple years sucked and they're awfully heavy handed at times, but the hard part is over.

Orion is not to benefit UPS now.

They will get most of the bugs worked out eventually.

And then you combine that with driverless package cars, and you have a delivery person on car making $15 an hour.

UPS always looks 20-30 years down the road.

I saw a FedEx Ground person driving with no hands on the wheel, looking for his next stop from a paper delivery list in their hand. Does that sound correct?

"Delivering for Dummies?"

Yep. Trained one driver 90% of a route like that. Easy route but it worked.
