[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 4319743, member: 23516"] Too many people are getting caught up in the "cheaper to use Ground to deliver the deferred freight" and not looking at the bigger picture. It's true in the most basic accounting sense where you look at the revenue from a deferred package vs the cost of using a Ground contractor to deliver it. But there's more to it than that, such as the exercise of getting it from the Express courier to the Ground contractor for on-time delivery. The handful of Express people I know transferred to Ground (ops manager level up to whatever the Ground equivalent of managing director) have all said that Ground management is absolutely horrible. Express management expectations are ridiculously strict compared to Ground, and Express isn't that strict. Exactly. All part of the bigger picture. To make it all work will require Ground to pay more money, which would offset (or eliminate) the savings of taking on Express freight. [/QUOTE]
