[QUOTE="Dutch Dawg, post: 175415, member: 4843"] This same driver/vehicle combination has been observed at the same hub location during the same hour of the day for four consecutive weeknights thus far. Some believe he is currently transporting zone skip parcels on a daily basis. Zone skip is nothing new around here. However the use of another UPS division to actually zone skip parcels is. Some have suggested the use of another UPS division such as SCS to zone skip (if that is indeed occuring) could accelerate customer participation causing a loss of feeder volume. Because UPS would be more inclined to push zone skip with UPS now getting a portion of revenue from that step. While that might have nominal implication today, perhaps a few years down the road, the impact felt could be significant with regard to feeder jobs. Some might believe this to be speculation or conjecture, however it's still something to think about. From what has been observed of the daily time table and point of origin for this SCS driver, I'm not convinced UPS feeders could not meet the same schedule. I do believe in all probability it would cost the customer more and there you have the crux of the situtation. One UPS division undercutting another. Then again this could all be just one big misunderstanding. [/QUOTE]
