[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 155679, member: 7185"] Uncle Rico, sorry I deleted part/most of your post but I wanted to touch on the parts I saved for quotation. I hope I don't destroy your intent, sir. First section: Never worked for FedEx. Explored it extensively, had talks with Ground, Freight and Home Delivery. Did some research and decided to pass. UPS...one stint as an inside employee, two stints as a helper SINCE, and starting my SECOND stint as an inside employee in a few weeks. Second section: Isn't there a term from recent politics about "fuzzy math?" Fred's business plan SEEMS to be built on a similar foundation. There comes a time when those walked on rise up in rebellion against those that walked on them. Give it time. When it happens, I'll be the first to hit the deck, laughing. :tongue_sm Third section: I am very proud of having UPS on my resume/applications.
