[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 669460, member: 22610"] I know it's exciting to cry fire in a crowded theater, but I really don't think any plan by the board of directors involves a drastic reduction in volume or cutting our workforce of drivers by substantial numbers. I would much more likely believe that the strategy involves increases in volume, coupled with strategies to reduce cost to customers and to reduce our cost per piece to deliver. Reducing the number of gross packages delivered every day, as one poster suggested, results in just the opposite outcome, that is, an increased cost per piece. There are ways to decrease cost per piece while increasing volume. This move to trim 1800 jobs was one way to move toward that end. There are others. [/QUOTE]
