[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1393561, member: 198"] On one hand I hope the rumor about Amazon is true. More volume could mean more jobs. On the other hand i hope its not true because in many areas the "expansion" that UPS keeps telling our shippers, and the press, about is either not happening or is highly exaggerated in the areas where it is really happening. Its smoke and mirrors. Converting a bunch of TCDs to fulltime and also REPLACING package drivers that have moved into feeders is not going to increase capacity. Expanding parking lots and adding a few belts here and there won't either. Its all for not without adding the extra people needed to move the packages. Shippers are going to assume UPS really has just went through a massive expansion and will send a higher percentage of their volume our way expecting us to be able to handle it. We will be caught with our pants down. Last year's debacle was at least partly the fault of Amazon but a failure this time will be 100% the fault of corporate UPS. Sent using BrownCafe App [/QUOTE]
