[QUOTE="FrigidAdCorrector, post: 1601861"] There are also a lot less FT managers than there are drivers. A drop in the bucket. The discounts we give to big shippers are massive. I had a high value shipment the other day and it was 40 pounds, ground from the midwest to CA, and a pretty big box. Shipper paid 17 bucks. I used to work for a company that would send a ton of Priority Overnight with FedEx all over the world. When you'd close the system for the day you would get a printout of the daily charges. I was always shocked how much of a discount we would get. If you went to FedEx office they would have charged us 150 bucks to send an overnight package to our Hong Kong office. We only ended up paying 38 dollars. We may be priced high for the average joe who is sending a package to grandma. But for the big shippers we are pretty reasonable. [/QUOTE]
