In my case, I took over a contract to service a city of 120,000. Previous contractor only went so far and was able to contract far rural stops to Post. When I took over new rules were being placed on me. Deliveries in some Zip/Postal codes for these areas could range from being 5 miles out to 50 or more. In order for me to maintain my city center I had to service the rurals.
They also offered me a new PSA but the catch was they wanted me to service a community that was an hour away even if I only had one delivery in that town for the day.
I didn't like it but had to do what I had to do to grow. The only thing is a wise number cruncher can see that rural runs cost more to maintain then they yield and FedEx knows this but still wants to service them and will push them on the contractor that is the closest to these areas bundling them in a creative psa package. If you refuse or alter the offer, well then they make life hard on you with their tactics.
