Well it looks like Amazon might be starting

Sure UPS can make a few bucks doing what I like to call a "premium service for the lazy customers of a competitor". But I just don't like call tags because it's either 1) They are extremely oversized, overweight irregs or 2) it's for the CBA people that are too lazy to drop it off at a pickup location or they're like "OMG, I had a scheduled pickup today?!?! I don't have it ready. Give me a minute."

I rarely have heavy amazon call tags. Almost always 1-2 lbs. usually sitting out on the porch.

Should I be worried about Amazon being able to outcompete UPS over time? One of the reasons I started working for UPS was the benefits and the potential to start driving I hope the company can continue growing.

Dang, consider yourself lucky then. I've had a lot of heavy stuff...like 80 lbs, 90 lbs, 130 lbs. Or maybe I'm just unlucky...

Amazon has become one of the wealthiest companies in the world thanks to its ability to deliver practically anything just about anywhere. That said, it shouldn’t come as any great surprise that the delivery giant has finally taken the first leap toward creating its own fleet of aircraft. This...

my understanding is amazon is purchasing these and leasing them back to the companies they are currently leasing aircraft from.

It is probably that a Biden administration is going to work at breaking up Amazon. AWS, the most profitable portion is what is funding everything else. Many expect that Amazon will be broken into at least 4 pieces.

This depends on if any of the Biden administration has any kids working on the board of directors for amazon
