[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4111059, member: 76548"] Did not read thread. But in relation to the thread title... They've all tried to leave or divert extra volume to that crazy fun Uncle FedEx in the past, and they all come back to Poppa Big Brown, when they get a taste of life with the other half. What seemed like a good idea when they were signing the contract, often times ends badly, especially when the level of savings is taken into account - it's just not worth it. Our service and caliber of employees, is the difference that justifies our higher cost - if that doesn't matter to you, cool. Enjoy FedEx. But if you like your packages delivered by well-groomed and professional drivers, with a strict code of ethics, and high safety standards, who reliably pick up your outgoing packages every day at the time that works for you, instead of early because the FedEx guy is out of other work and deliveries for the day and he's about to call it quits - then UPS is the company you will choose, and you will pay the little bit extra. YMMV with express drivers, but what I posted is pretty standard across the board with the ground drivers, or as I like to call them - The Dream Team*. (*Not like the 1992 Olympic Basketball team, but more toward the 1989 movie where the mental patients steal the van, and bust out of the looney bin, to head out on a road trip without medical supervision - shockingly similar to how it is when the trucks are leaving a FedEx ground hub at the top of the morn.)
