I just want to make friends!
The inescapable reality facing Express employees is that ground contractors are not your pals. They are your adversary. For many years they stayed in their market while you stayed in yours. Ground has breached that defensive perimeter and is now in your market. ISP/CSP contractors are like locusts. They come in devour what's there and move on.
By and large, they're getting some of the work that isn't profitable for us. The Express network isn't built for, and isn't designed to profit under, a large volume of cheap e-commerce shipments. If we can sub those out at a profit, or at a greater profit than we had doing it ourselves, fine by me.
