[QUOTE="RPSman, post: 3579206, member: 51437"] I didn't really think they would strike, even with all the scuttlebutt I was hearing that said they would. Different players nowadays, Fed Ex Ground couldn't have handled the extra packages like RPS did in the 1997 strike. Why I say that is because RPS had P & D contractors, maximum 3 routes only given to senior contractors. With this ISP setup, 12 to 15 routes running in old rental trucks with wooden shelves instead of stepvans with bulkhead doors & aluminum shelves. DHL showed after the Airborne acquisition that they couldn't handle the bulk. 1997 players-Emery, Purolator USA & Pony Express Couriers are out of business. Regional parcel companies need to up their game to be serious competitors to UPS. [/QUOTE]
