[QUOTE="TheFigurehead, post: 1472005, member: 49302"] I think with all the bad press last year, companies are sending more volume to other shippers as opposed to UPS. I have never seen so many FedEx trucks around in my life. Now, UPS is a sick joke of a place to work, but, in as far as delivering packages, UPS is, hands down, the best of the best. Here's where it's going to screw us: We'll have a lighter than normal peak, we'll get good press, and everything will run smoothly on our end. FedEx is going to be FedEx, and most of those local shippers are a joke. After Amazon, and the like, get enough complaints about those places, they'll revert that volume back to UPS for next peak. The company, being the greedy publicly traded bastards that they are, will see this peak's numbers as an excuse to save money by being less prepared next year. We will not be ready. That's my prediction, anyway. We'll spend the rest of this peak waiting for the flood that never comes… Peak 2015 will be the worst in UPS history. Mark my words. [/QUOTE]
