[QUOTE="Teamster251, post: 144409, member: 6213"] wkmac, UPS and UPSF will never be megered into one operation. The two operation are too different to become just one. Package and Freight are Apples and Oranges, granted we both move things but we move ithem in different volumes, different methods, different pricing, different service levels and different ways. UPS diversifies itself with the many companies it runs, wether it UPS Airlines, UPS Cartage, UPS Logistics, UPS (parcel) UPS Store, UPS Freight, UPS SupplyChain...etc. Merging Freight and Parcel will have major impact on the workforce and service will suffer greatly. How many packages can you stuff in a P1000? How about how many packages in a 48 foot trailer? Don't say it won't happen becuase it will. Remember those early FedEX Express package cars with the big back doors to load in pallets on the tail? It didn't work, hence FedEx Freight. How many small packages will suffer service if lost on a big 48 foot trailer or misdilvered on a pallet deilvery. How many bring backs becasue the truck was too big for the street or parking lot? How many package jobs lost becuase you can put more on a trailer? How many service failures before you lose a customer? How many missed pickups because of a trimmed workforce, truck too big, not enough time to make by closing. I'm happy for those at Overnite that can probally feel a little more secure with thier future in an otherwise unsecure freight indusrty. UPS purchasing Overnite solidifies thier future and at the same time give UPS more diversity in this growing competive industry. UPS will fine tune Overnite as Fedex has with the companies formerly know as American Freightways and Viking. AKA FedEx Freight. They continue to operte indepently as a sepersate company and are very good at what they do. Overnite/UPSF can do they same and become just as good if not better under the guidance of Big Brown. UPSF will be left as it is and produce fine for Father Brown just the way it is. Take it from experience, I've been in both worlds, package and freight are two different animals. They need seperate pens or they may kill each other if left together. T251 [/QUOTE]
