[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 55761"] Yep monte, you've been "cought" spinning fedex adverts as facts here quite a bit. Don't worry though you are not aloan, Youre a debt. [img]http://browncafe.com/discus2/clipart/thumbsup.gif[/img] You seem fixated on the ground like that part shouldn't count or something. Perhaps, some day if those companies you bought and pretend are really and truly fedex (you know, "not air" and "homely" or whatever) make a profit you might start considering ground to count. Course, they may never get to that level so it will probably be a mute point. You are right that because your groundling divisions don't have much market share that they should be able to improve that, albeit only temporarily, but that doesn't have anything to do with profit or staying power. We have a local guy called "two men and a truck" that took some market share away from us for a while too. I bet if you could think of another name for a fourth (ooops, sorry about using that word as I know how touchy you are about it) company division you would probably buy him out. Ummm, DHL has been around a lot longer than you seem to know about. Perhaps you are narrowing down the parameters to what you want like, just here in the USA or something or perhaps you just don't know enough. Gee, I don't know, revenue, total package volume, number of customers, yeah, those would be strange yardsticks to use to determine who is number one when you have can have a handful of guys at some rag make the call in your favor instead. How weak. Tell you what, UPS will continue to take the revenue and profit to the bank and deposit it and you can try taking some magazine poll opinions to the bank and try to pay off some of that debt. [img]http://browncafe.com/discus2/clipart/biggrin.gif[/img] You have been wrong before on this issue, but I will correct you again. We had ground competition long long before fedex and far far tougher. We went up against the US Mail when it was an integral part of the government and did not have to post a profit (well ok, you have been doing that bit about going in debt which is kind of sort of like not making a profit, but still . . .) and had literal monopolies where we couldn't even drive a locked truck through many states. We are here stronger than ever and frankly, compared to that fedex is more like that two men and a truck I mentioned earlier. monte, I have to feel sorry for a fedex guy so addicted to brown envy that he lives his free time on a UPS board. There is help for you. You could go see a shrink or enter the part-time UPS workforce, I hear we are hiring. [img]http://browncafe.com/discus2/clipart/cool.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
