[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 3722231, member: 14176"] That is ridiculous. Residential is "the new commercial". Anybody who has been doing the job, knows that at an ever increasing rate, the house that used to get one or two packages a week, now gets three to five a day....which is exactly the dynamic that makes commercial stops more profitable, right??? ....not to mention the house next door or across the street that I can deliver without moving the truck, who also is getting a packages (or multiples). I think they call those what???....that's right "proximity stops". For those who never contemplated the economics (the math if you will)....after the first package which assumes all of the cost for the delivery, each subsequent package is exponentially more profitable than it would have been as a single package delivery. Can anybody here see any way that dynamic doesn't continue to grow, as our society races towards the instant gratification of "one click" shopping for everything under the sun. So here we a guy ([USER=70940]@Tony Q[/USER] ) who claims to be "at the table" negotiating concessions for a Company that is recording record profit, that is also poised to exploit an emerging market. I'm not buying his crap, I'm Voting No on the Master and the Supplement until I know what's in the finalized Master. [/QUOTE]
