[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1132233, member: 12508"] OK, so Fred S created his ultra low-cost Ground opco utilizing contractors and non-employees. What is there to stop UPS, or any other large freight carrier, from doing the same thing? UPS could piss-off the IBT and it's own employees and spin-off UPS "Caramel", or "UPS Lite", or whatever else you want to call an imitation of the Ground scam. UPS could sell it's customers higher-priced, but more dependable Brown, OR the customer can choose UPS Caramel, where someone delivers your box from a donkey cart or beat-up old ex FedEx stepvan for far less? Even if UPS couldn't do it because of their union contract, why not have YRC (union) or even some non-union carrier duplicate FedEx Ground? Roadway (now part of YRC) pioneered the concept anyway, but failed to execute on the expansion part of the equation. Gee, how does Fred S keep creating these special niche operations that nobody else can duplicate? [/QUOTE]
