[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 867433, member: 4777"] correct me if im wrong but I believe fedex already was in talks with rps about buying them before the strike....There is a couple articles floating around about how at one time Fred S had no intention about getting into ground because the margins wernt as good as the air side of the business. Im sure the strike opened his eyes when customers were begging rps drivers to take their packages...actually walking up to trucks and trying to hand them stuff. Now dont you think ups would have known this and "heard the chatter" in the air about fedex getting serious about rps. I find it interesting how one company is giving ups such a run for their money. It is one of the few segments in business that doesnt have 10+ companies going for the same piece of the pie...look at the auto industry, clothing, supermarkets, etc, etc, all have much more competition than the package delivery business and we are getting our butts handed to us.
