[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 665238, member: 22610"] Actually, according to a regional level manager that I talked to about the Walmart deal, the switch had a lot to do with pricing. Prior to the switch, according to my source, UPS was the preferred shipper for walmart in something like 37 states and Fedex had the contract for the other 13. Apparently, walmart renegotiated rates with Fedex, and now Fedex has something like 43 states, leaving us with 7 or so. Interstingly, the states that we were left with were the big money losers, very rural, geographically large and sparsely poplulated. He mentioned what states we were left with, I don't really remember which ones, maybe they were like nebraska, montana and the like. [/QUOTE]
