[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 292234, member: 4777"] Hmmm, interesting, jim casey wanted to get more into the air side of moving packages in the 30's and did for some time until others around him decided it was best to stay away from it because of the depression and other factors, doesnt seem like change to me....and look what happen because of it....a little company called fedex. If it wasnt for companies like fedex and airborne, ups would still be a total ground company. Ups has always been a little behind the curve in change, think about it. Ups should have been in europe years ago, besides germany. They should have had a ltl trucking company years ago, it only makes sense, the only reason they finally caved in was because fedex had a freight division that is now #2 in the nation. How long did ups fight the drivers and the union on being able to wear shorts, yes its a small detail, in the big picture of ups, they didnt want "change", now look at the shorts, they are world famous. Everybody looks at ups as the slow brown slug, so im not sure why everyone thinks ups is up there with some of the top companies who encourage and look for other avenues for growth . [/QUOTE]
