[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 123187, member: 2189"] Before you accept this one you need to take a look first off at the regulatory requirements for Freight and then for UPS specifically. I asked someone who not only do I trust but their position in corp. allows them knowledge of some of this aspect and they told me that the hope and dream would be only one system but at best it's years away. Not only are they buidling and our buidling not compatible with handling each others product but Freight can carry certain items Hazmat related that we can't and visa versa. The regulatory deregulation for this would/will take years at best and even then the infra-structure still may not make it do-able. This is also another reason why I doubt the conspiracy theorists who prescribe that UPS Freight was bought to scuttle any strike in 08'. I'm not advocating a strike because we'd be nuts to do so IMO but moving product from Hub to Hub is one thing but how are the Freight Tractor/Trailers gonna deliver it the last mile and keep up all the volume. Even if we reduced the volume by 80% and topped this remaining 20% onto UPS Freight, it still can't get done! Come on folks, THINK! [/QUOTE]
