[QUOTE="BrownSuit, post: 515592, member: 14437"] Not sure where you are looking at prices, but UPS Published rates for Ground are identical to FedEx, whereas our Air rates are considerably less than theirs. As far as profitability it ranks International, Air, Ground with Commercial than Residential. Keep in mind that the overall profitability of any product is determined by stop density. If there are more packages at each stop, it is more profitable for the company. That means that there are more drivers out on road covering a smaller area. That's a serious advantage over the purple guys. They have two drivers covering the same area, with fewer stops between them. If the ground structure changes anytime soon, expect our rates to be significantly lower than theirs. [/QUOTE]
