[QUOTE="FedExer267, post: 907848, member: 18716"] I see where you are coming from Van, but the UPS guys in my area are still alot heavier than we are, they have the trailers they pull out there now as well and park then come back when they have room and fill up the rest of their truck. That never happens at Ground. As much as some people look for a cheaper alternative, there will always be the ones that pay for convenience. The convenience to them is having one driver who brings everything. Not hopping in their car and chasing down the first FedEx truck they see and say you have my package. Umm No I don't thats Express or Home Delivery then you get that blank stare of what do you mean you are FedEx. We can't deny that since the existence of Ground it has definatley had a impact on UPS marketshares, however I see more and more customers going back to UPS and they all say they like having one driver. If FedEx ever did things the way UPS does, then and only then would they make a bigger impact on UPS marketshares for now they are safe from us. I just don't see us having as big as a effect on UPS atleast in my area. The Upser's bend over backwards for their customers but they get paid to do so, Ground not so much. I have a lady wanting a 7pm pick up now through the 20th of December, I have told her sorry I punch out at 5pm. When FedEx pays me overtime I will sit out here and wait and not until then, because only then I can get rid of my 2nd job. [/QUOTE]
