Tell me if this idea holds any weight...

UPS has a lot of real value in equipment and property. Most of the tech companies are floating on promises and dreams.

Uber is one. No real infrastructure but valued over a billion for its app.

Yet they don't own the cars or infrastructure that makes their business run.

Way overrated

I wish UPS would spend some money on upgrading our capacity.

They are in Europe and Asia

Although I've seen more new vehicles lately. Especially the electric and hybrid

Class B only have one vote. Class A has 10 votes.

If thats the case, is it possible for it to be a "non-hostile" take over where A shares are quickly and quietly sold off, the news is "leaked" out causing an even faster and cheaper sell off by the general public?

The new vehicles need to be designed to handle some of this freight. I asked them to cut a piece of my 6000 shelf off. They looked at me like I was crazy.

I think ups and the board control the class A to prevent that some way

Class A can only be owned by the employees ,not the public.

Sure anything is possible.

I think you are correct. It would be a "smoky back room deal".

They need to be wider I agree

UPS loves to spend a lot on capital expenditures just before a new contract so they can claim they aren't making money.

No. Bezos doesn't have the liquid cash too. He's have to leverage Amazon and rack even more debt then he does now.

Ups board would not let Bezos take control of any aspect of ups.

He knows this.

That's why he wants the PO to be privatized so he can buy it cheap from the government

Bezos has stated that he doesn't really want to compete with UPS. Just trying to get better rates by delving into delivering his own stuff.

Plus those shelves aren't designed to hold all the weight. They look good on paper but fail in the real world.

I wonder if Besos ever said, I dont want to compete with Walmart. I just want to sell a lot of books."

Makes them nice to park but there's freaking no room to work in the back of them.

I had a brand new truck and quickly asked for my old truck back.

They are worth several times what UPS is worth.

I thought Amazon barely breaks even every quarter, working on borrowed money.

 

[DOK]

I've heard this idea floated in my center recently by more than one longtime driver.

Amazon buys UPS. I sure hope not. Do they have the capital to pull that move off? That would be a disaster.

How about ups starts IT'S own Amazon? We already have the most different task down, a delivery network.

They are finally making a few nickels. I just can't wait to see there delivery system fail at peak.

Or they lose money
