[QUOTE="Heavy Package, post: 3599343, member: 70051"] I get what many people are saying on here. UPS rolled out Saturdays with huge fan-fare, balloons and cake. They rolled it back at my hub already (top 50 metro area) and everyone knew what a cluster it was. My point is...Look at what we have being shoved down our throats now. It's not good. Saturday could at best be a break-even to start and be an investment UPS would have to suck up and put resources in to grow. Start with the top-10 or so metro areas in the country. Be smart about it. But oh hell no, not at UPS. Let's roll Saturday out to places like Fargo ND, and Muncie IN and wonder why it's a total turd. What makes you think Sundays would be different - even in a 5-year timeframe? Still looking at top 20-25 metro areas at best. We are not going to profitably deliver ground on Sundays to places like Binghamton NY or Flagstaff AZ even in 5 yrs. [/QUOTE]
