[QUOTE="RPSman, post: 3735195, member: 51437"] Essentially, Amazon is 'stealing' the original HD concept, but doesn't have to provide the national coverage that HD tried to do. HD rollout was a failure and I think it is because fedex tried to cover too much too fast with too few. "HD rollout was a failure because the people they hired to do the hiring meetings were not trained properly. I flew in a small cigar airplane from the outlands to go to the metro area meeting, as I did not like Airborne, and was wanting to get one of the first HD routes in the area. The guy doing the meeting, could not answer the questions when posed to him, I ended up answering 90% of the questions. When I told him I wanted to get a P400 step van (I had one located in CA) to run the route with, he did not have a clue what one was. I ended up moving back to the metro area, working for another courier company, and shaking my head every time I saw one of the clowns that did get hired, go by in a HD cargo van. A year or so after that, when the volume got too big for cargo vans, some idiot in engineering came up with the Work Horses. From what one of my sources told me, they were only 100 cubic foot larger than the Kurbmasters, and did not have the same mechanical dependability." [/QUOTE]
