[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 417501, member: 8259"] Maybe I did not understand his point. I was thinking he was saying that some of the trailers were not full when they left the customers location and so they went to the UPSF terminal to put more freight on them and this was the reason UPS was sending the trailer by freight. I was just saying if this were true there is no real reason they could not come to UPS and have UPS packages loaded on the trailers and pulled down the road by UPS drivers to a UPS hub. I do not think that just because a customer puts packages on a skid that makes it freight. If that were true I already pick up nothing but freight. None of this really matters anyhow. I see what is going on. I do not understand why it is happening. I had only asked if it were possible to get it changed. I see from the responses on here it will likely be very difficult. I have gotten replies from it is not sub contracting because the customer had to have come up with this idea ( even though it was three separate customers on my one little route in a weeks time) to it has somehow now magically transformed into freight because it is presorted to a hub destination and loaded onto a freight trailer or sometimes even accidentally on one of our trailers and pulled by a freight guy. Do not get me wrong this is more than my supervision would even say about it. On a lighter note I was at a new pickup for me that replaced one I lost to freight and a dock worker had loaded a Fedex overnight skid onto the FedEx ground trailer and caused about 65 packages to be late. Normally I would have jumped in and let em know that if they used us they would not have to worry about it. I just smiled and kept my big mouth shut. I may be slow but the next job loss I cause may just be mine. [/QUOTE]
