[QUOTE="Neanderthal, post: 3733686, member: 74180"] Listen, the surepost is nothing but tag along volume. By nature it’s a by product at a lower price margin offering to be able to afford to discount major shippers other deliveries in the system. (Volume we would get otherwise) [it should go noted United parcel service does not like the surepost product and when federal express removes smart post (if ever) you would see sure post disseaper over night] That is the internal cost structure that we do not see so I cannot speak to that. Secondary to that cost - and more importantly - control of hours with due respect to 9.5 greivances: when there is easy control over nominal margin fluctuating volume - it makes sense to send that trailer to usps. There is a balance - but you want to take the extreme point of saying we need to deliver everything that comes surepost. That’s great - but then what do the drivers do that are staffed for the one day a week that fluctuation hits? They get laid off? There is more to the larger picture than your argument provides. I’m not saying you’re entirely wrong, you just have failed to include considerations. [/QUOTE]
