[QUOTE="scratch, post: 154673, member: 1674"] The thinking behind Basic is to get new volume by offering the biggest discount we can to draw large accounts away from our competitors. UPS keeps most of the revenue, and saves money by letting the Post Office deliver to remote areas. We probably lose money on rural routes, with Basic, Teamsters are doing most of the work moving the package, the Post Office just makes the final leg of the trip. I have driven country routes before, lots of time and miles to deliver a small package we are losing money on. [/QUOTE]
