[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 3823059, member: 60252"] I actually turned down RPS in the early 90s, but loved the original idea of HD- smaller vehicles doing strictly home deliveries, no pick-ups, no COD or HAZMAT, just the easy stuff, and nothing too big or heavy. All those promises went out the window on Day ! when fedex was more concerned about not losing a few bucks at start-up. If they had been willing to take a short term loss, they could have completely sewn up the residential delivery market. If they had stayed with the original plan, Amazon wouldn't be getting into the delivery business at all. One driver per 1-2 zip codes working part-time if desired and using even vans like the Astrovans would have made it easy to find drivers. [/QUOTE]
