[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 5202655, member: 22662"] The real kicker is that this mess is all Ground’s own making. They have been obsessed with becoming larger and more efficient. And the plans had a degree of merit but didn’t account for crappy logistics programs, driver turnover, a global pandemic and weather impacts. And yes, most of that is impossible to predict. The problem is that they refused to adapt to any of those situations. Costs were simply passed along. Honestly, I’d say that had they dealt with those as they came up, we wouldn’t see near the focus on how high gas prices are affecting contractors. Fuel prices are just that proverbial last straw. So far their only response has been to say that they will get better at doing what hasn’t been working. Contractors have been raising these concerns internally for nearly two years now. They’re in a tight corner and I’m curious to see if they somehow navigate the mess they’ve created. [/QUOTE]
