[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1133043, member: 29298"] The ground rates between both companies are extremely comparable and fedex doesn't always outbid ups, far from that. Where ground drivers are cheaper, it's not all about drivers, there are plenty of other people behind them where wages are much more comparable. But lets say Fedex saves X vs UPS on drivers, UPS makes it back because they have higher package volume. It doesn't take a lot of packages more to pay for a ups driver over any fedex driver. Perhaps we get caught up with that math a bit too much. As for regionals and brand that is correct, but some regionals are improving and keeping customers, not all and not sure how many. But it is there, perhaps someday Amazon will tap into those investing big and brand them Amazon. [/QUOTE]
