[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5527124, member: 58386"] If there is a recession and the industry overall has a completely overwhelming level of excess capacity , you might just see one or more carriers decide that they've had enough and launch a concerted effort to finally end a new emerging business practice that lands completely outside the bounds by which Fat Freddy was granted his exemption. You knew something was up when a couple of years ago the Fedex Home Delivery logo and brand was remove from the HD trucks. And it's my understanding that new Ground wagons coming in no longer say Ground on them. Then again, you want them to continue to say Ground on them because as a result you're going to see Ground labeled trucks pulling into driveways to deliver air box labeled freight. People will soon or later say...." WHY is this coming on a Ground truck but I'm being billed for air freight? Invariably, they're going start believing that this box came the entire distance on truck and never saw the inside of an airplane. This is an entirely new type of con Fat Freddy is running, but he's twice already cried "wolf" claiming that without his exemption the nation's economy would suffer irreparable damage. Might be a lot tougher this time around given that he's obviously running a new con that would do nothing else other than to pad his bottom line. [/QUOTE]
