[QUOTE="Maui, post: 4363606, member: 45037"] Agreed. Most work hard and that includes the managers. Duplicating the entire network on some packages is not cost-effective. There is only so much that can be done from a cost or efficiency standpoint at each station. Of course there are underperforming locations/employees, but the cost structure is the biggest impediment to margin growth. The same thing exists with duplication of TNT and Express in Europe which balloons expenses. That change starts also by the end of Q4. For the record, US Ops for Express have been pretty strong. US only margins have been over 9.8% during the last couple quarters. It's the international market that has really dented profitability. [/QUOTE]
