[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 670503, member: 22610"] I think if UPS volume dropped any substantial amount, it could significantly affect public perception, followed very quickly by tumbling stock prices. I've noticed that no management person on the board has indicated that UPS's new long term goal is less packages, less employees, less routes. We already tack a surcharge on residential packages that is sometimes as much as 30% over the charge for the same package going to a business. I guess if we charged $100 surcharge on every residential package, our business in that area might evaporate. It certainly would make for a good christmas season. If we didn't have residential deliveries, our fourth quarter profit statements would look pretty bad. I haven't heard any BD people telling JC Penneys and Amazon to stick their business where the sun don't shine. [/QUOTE]
