[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1004531, member: 12508"] You are a businessman at the whim of Mr. Smith. I've been around enough Ground employees to know who really runs the operation. And no, I'm not certain of Ground's failure, but I would be very surprised if there aren't another long series of lawsuits after the takeover. Mercenaries insert themselves into situations where they profit but don't really care about the messy consequences. I've said before that you seem to be a conscientious contractor, so your degree of culpability is much less than the ISP that flat rates his people at $450 per week. Ground is a scam because it pays less than what the job is worth, and because Smith has his dirty hands in it. Without all that political money changing hands, Ground would have never made it this far so fast. I don't think Ground will handle the extra workload well, because it is asking more for the same money. Work harder for less? If Express still does E2 pickups and Ground delivers it, it probably will get done, just not as well in terms of service. Fred is never going to be content with paying 40% less if he can pay 41% less, and that will be his downfall. If you don't think Memphis and Pittsburgh want to apply Express-style management techniques and efficiency improvements to Ground, you're kidding yourself. [/QUOTE]
