[QUOTE="sortaisle, post: 1171676, member: 17605"] Shippers going with other couriers and same day services has nothing to do with our labor agreement. It's the boom of the internet industry and there's a lot of scratch to be made. These same day services only work locally usually in large cities. WalMart and Amazon have been testing same day services in major cities. Most of the smaller companies will wind up getting absorbed anyway because the logistics of doing that kind of business is rather mind boggling unless you're in a dense area. Even then, places like NY, LA, Chi, and Seattle would have a bitch of a time getting stuff done because of traffic and fuel costs. Our volume is down here, but that's mainly because a lot of volume has been diverted to Portland. I'm sure it's the same in other areas where they've expanded their hubs. [/QUOTE]
