[QUOTE="DriverNerd, post: 5520407, member: 61439"] Some might indeed do that, but I think you underestimate how many shippers hate dealing with the post office. They might like their drivers but their package requirements, holidays off (not to mention weather delays), missed pickups and early pickup times just to name a few really tick them off. A lot of shippers I visit (and I see many) that have multiple pickups (eg. UPS, FedEx, DHL and USPS) complain by far the most about USPS. Our hub delivers cattle car after cattle car of packages to post offices around our metro area. How exactly is the post office going to pickup all this sure post volume if it went to USPS when they don't have enough employees to do the work they have now? I think many of those would eventually switch. I know a few that used to ship sure post and switched back to UPS ground because their packages would get to the post office then sit there for days. Or would disappear all together. Or would show as delivered then get delivered a day or two later (typical USPS behavior). I won't argue the money aspect, but some shippers really do rely on our superior delivery service for their continued existence. [/QUOTE]
