[QUOTE="upsdawg, post: 57719"] Sales Leads are a necessity from everyone, not just drivers. In my district, there are routes in areas that are growing extremely fast--there are also areas that customers are moving away from and our volume is down-------where is the volume going?? DHL is buying new business----yes, some of it comes back to us because of poor service, just like it used to with RPS...as RPS got better and came under the FEDX umbrella, less of the volume returned to UPS---the same will hold true for DHL------they will get better and less of the volume they are "Buying" from shippers will come back! I have heard DHL offering free shipping to companies for 30 days if they switch---hard to pass this up!If our ground volume continues to decline...at what point, and how many routes do we have to cut to start drumming up new business? as the thread(DannyBoy)indicates---it is much harder to get business back--and the cost is a lot higher!!(Speed Demon) excellent point---our drivers do a great job of protecting our volume---and we have customers that use us just because of their drivers---how do these drivers get compensated??-----maybe I am a little simple minded---but as shareholders.....hourly and management alike--don't we all get a dividend check and get to purchase stock at a reduced price and God willing, the price of stock continues to increase--we all share in our success of retaining our customers---what about the administrative person who finds a package for a customer and the customer is satisfied, should the admin get a bonus fo doing their job----and maybe the feeder driver who has to chain up to get over the mountain to make service on 2 trailers of packages, which make our customers satisfied---should they get a bonus---how about the TSG person who gewts a customers system up and running so they can ship that day-----should the TSG person get a bonus?? I want to work for a company who is financially sound-----and i knew when I hired on that the work was hard--and sometimes the weather would be hot--raining-snowing----there could be long hours (and there have!) But I sleep well at night knowing that my job is secure and we are winning the war on package volume--it is a war, and it is not going away---the competition will only get more fierce as we continue to get more competition!!!
