[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 403811, member: 12570"] I seem to recall a company that was established in 1907 which did not begin to offer air services until 1929 (discontinued in 1931 due to Great Depression) and then reintroduced air services in 1953. This company was solely focused on its ground component but its business model changed with the times and the air component was introduced. To say that your ground component is not set-up for overnight services may be correct as of this point in time but I would not rule out the possibility of your ground and express components combining their operations. To be truthful, a combined FedEx would be much more competitive than the current divided format. I think we have all seen instances where both Express and Ground are delivering to the same customer at the same time. We have also been told that each component has their own sales exec so potential customers have to deal with 2 sales pitches from FedEx. Combining both your ground and express components and securing Teamster protection would really allow you to make a serious dent in UPS operations. [/QUOTE]
