[QUOTE="Brown287, post: 708008, member: 14940"] Its obvious that FDX is not as happy with Ground as they once were. With the new approach on their "professional driver" program, and the announcement that domestic volumes are FLAT, I don't see how FDX really believes that the Ground unit could come close to the level of service that express prices provide. At UPS we have time committed deliveries all over regardless of the package service level, and even with our much tighter loops they at times are difficult to service. It is well documented that UPS drivers level of "professionalism" is much higher then the FDX Ground drivers, so I don't see how the Ground network as a whole can really be counted on with deliveries of importance. This is by no means a knock on the hard work that they do but lets be honest, there not a whole lot of loyalty to the brand over there. They go to work deliver some stops and collect their 12 bucks an hour. Bbsam you say that you can walk on water and cure the sick, thats great but unfortunately you are the minority not the majority. And yes UPS does use this to our advantage when it comes to getting new business. [/QUOTE]
