[QUOTE="Hawaii50, post: 629089, member: 15838"] After drinking to much alcohol while watching GI JOE then reading mulitple posts on this fourm about FED-EX. I have come to this conclusion from my drunken state of mind. From certain angles the tree is dying. Alliances are being made by the competition to weaken/destroy UPS. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Fred S and the Walton Family Alliance is slowing coming together. The "Smith/Walton ENTITY" has the potential to destroy our way of life as UPSers. The Smith/Walton Entity are getting their ground troops"suppliers" in place, and some of the ground troops"suppliers" are falling in line. Change shippers or risk losing our business arrangement? Walmart is so big and their market is so huge, no small/medium business owner/CEO in their right mind would risk losing the type of visbility Walmart offers for their products. The only opening I see for UPS to gain huge marketshare on or ahead of FED-EX is "aircraft lift capabilty". FED-EX recently threaten to cancel their Boeing aircraft freighter order becuase the Union legislation. That means FED-EX lift capabilty will be capped for several years unitll they get more Freighters online. FED-EX has a numerical advantage when it comes to planes. However majority of the planes are small feeders. Fed-EX freighters feed there Major hubs. That hub process and sends out the feeder planes to smaller hubs for delivery by their trucks."SAME JOB DIFFERENT COLOR TRUCKS" Sometimes I wonder? FED-EX claims the majority of their packages delivered by Air. Why would FED-EX need 30,000 medium duty trucks. In 2003, FedEx bet on hybrids, predicting that hybrid vehicles had the potential to replace the company’s 30,000 medium-duty trucks over the next 10 years.
