[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1018946, member: 24302"] But Amazon isn't building warehouses in higher cost metro areas. They are building regional distribution centers in lower cost small cities, same as Walmart has done. Strategically placed, they can reach anywhere in the U.S. in a matter of days, including overnight in a fairly large area for each center, using Ground. UPS too but Ground's prices are lower. If Ontrac can duplicate that for less cost great, but I doubt it. And FedEx keeps saying the shift in the industry is from overnight to slower, cheaper service. I think the idea that UPS and FedEx are going to get severely hurt by regional carriers is, for now, wishful thinking. Who knows in the future but it'll take a big investment on someone's part with a big risk of failure. [/QUOTE]
