[QUOTE="Trucker Clock, post: 5698212, member: 70932"] It has caused us, the employees, problems. Not UPS. They just lay people off and combine routes. No problem to them. I’m sure Saturday is not profitable. But it keeps these accounts with us. And we make money off them as a whole, even if we lose a little on Saturday. We do what the customer, shipper, wants. If not, they go to someone else who will do what they want. Deliver on Saturday and Sunday to make the shipper happy. Make money overall from the shipper by keeping all their volume. We’re not delivering on Saturday out of the goodness of our hearts. We are delivering on Saturday because that is what our shippers demand. If we don’t do it, they go to FedEx. If these shippers packages aren’t delivered on Saturday, or Sunday, customers will leave them (Walmart, Kohls, Target, HSN, etc.) and go to Amazon, who will deliver their packages on Saturday and Sunday.
