Haven't rural areas ALWAYS been a cost issue? I used to drive 300+ miles to deliver 35-40 stops. Was that cost effective? I doubt those packages paid for gas, salary, wear and tear, etc. If costs do go up due to hourly wage increases, pension, etc., could you blame FedEx for cutting service to those areas without raising rates?
I never made an 'explanation'. I simply asked where your rural cutback comments came from. So you're upset with Fred S for spending more than the IBT/UPS side and not the other way around? If the 2-1 ratio was the other way, you wouldn't have started this thread.The article in question points-out that Fedex has outspent UPS 2 to 1 and is running what is essentially a political campaign, with FedEx as the "candidate". Again, this is legislation that only benefits one company in the entire country....FedEx.
And you are completely welcome to your opinion and to disagree with me at will. I'm kind of having a tough time figuring-out the logic behind your explanation, because I clearly said in the original post that it was my opinion, just as it always is.
