Has anyone lost an account due to the contract expiration?

This week our center lost a big (feeder) pick-up account to FedEx. Apparently a very clever Fedex
sales rep is putting the fear of God in the minds of our customers. "Avoid any potential shipping
disruption this summer and ship with us now". Are there those of you talking to customers about the
contract? Have you been told not to? Does this pressure from Fedex help us or hurt us with
​negotiations?

I let the natural course of things take place. The longer negotiations go on the more nervous stockholders and accounts get. Go read UPSers.com for a couple reassuring press releases concerning negotiations

Shippers switch shipping companies all the time some for good reason some for bad reasons. Some get trick with lower teaser rates and other get tricking with nonsense. I have seen shipper go just to come back later after they figured out they got hoodwinked.
