[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 280089, member: 4653"] Guy and gals, I think you are all getting ahead of yourselfs. You are taking about 2022 and not 2122, correct? 2022 is 15 short years from now. My guess is the company will advance our technology to keep pace with the times, but our vehicles will be slowly phased out, meaning there will still be some package cars without power steering. You guys are talking about DIAD 22? UPS dosen't upgrade this fast. Based on our history, we'll be looking at DIAD 8 or 9 in 2022. I base this assumption on prior progressions. We went from DIAD 1 to DIAD 4 in the years 1991-present (17 years counting '08) so its reasonable to predict that UPS will produce the same amount in the next 15 years giving us DIAD VIII! My guess is we will be doing more residential than ever before because internet sales are going to increase over the next decade as people would rather sit at home and shop than fight mall traffic. So I foresee us gaining volume that we don't want (house calls from internet sales) and losing the volume we do want (businesses, which are bulk PU's to buk deliveriesl which means higher profit margins) to our competition. I tried to give a realistic prediction as to the direction of our compmany. Some people chose to talk about flying cars and robots (which is great if your dreaming). So can I re-phrase the topic and ask in reality how you think we will be running the operation in'22. Let's face it, there will be no robots or flying cars in use for UPS in '22. The oldest package cars in the fleet now are '84s (thats the oldest I have seen), so there are going to be many package cars made in 2000 come the year '22. So, it looks like by this year all the non powe steering will be gone from the fleet! But I'm sure there will be 1 or 2 kicking around some centers. What else do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
