[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 109554, member: 4886"] CWT is a good deal for customers only shipping a relatively small amount of weight. In most all cases we have three rate breakouts based on weight. The first breakout is for 200-499 lbs, the next is 500-999 lbs and the last is 1,000+. The rates for 500-999 is less then the 200-499 rate which makes sense, since usually there is bigger discounts with higher volume\weight. But the rates for over 1000 is actually more expensive per lb then it is for the 500-999 breakout. For companies that ship less then pallet, CWT is an excellent opportunity. For companies that ship one full pallet or more, LTL is better for them. (I'm not saying it's better for UPS or UPS freight or any of the other companies. I'm saying it's better for the customer). UPS bought Overnight because for customer that ship both small pkg and LTL had to use different companies before, unless they used FDX, since FDX had already bought an LTL company. (Actually, they bought a few and branded them all as FDX freight). As a company, we can eliminate duplication in customer service, billing, payroll etc etc. Also, no matter what happens. UPS can't force a customer to use UPS small pkg or UPS Freight or any other service. It's totally up to the customer. [/QUOTE]
