[QUOTE="stomlinson, post: 106137, member: 1831"] I run an account for Supply Chain. We have an almost untouchable LTL discount from a carrier, and that still doesn't touch hundredweight pricing. All Supply Chain accounts have incentive to move volume into small package. The reality is the company is always looking to push volume into the package side, as it is far and away the most efficiently run operation in the industry.

The number the building runs now isn't the same number. It is still a good operation, but it is more automated that it ever was.

Still, it isn't the same place I started with UPS... [/QUOTE]
