[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 573937, member: 4777"] Seems like much of the time there is no money that is being saved if you go business first and resi later...as we all know routes and loops can be done and put into edd so many different ways and still be efficient especially in the metro areas. How much business does ups loose to fedex on the issues of damages and constant changing of delivery times for business. Yes, fedex has multiple drivers and different times for each delivery...BUT they seem to be getting more constant with their times...especially ground. Sometimes they are later than ups, but in some of the larger cities they are getting out earlier and some customers are noticing this. What fedex then does is go into an account and start finding out what their larger inbound shippers are then try to get the shipper to request fedex for those accounts. This happen on one of my accounts..fedex got most of this companies outbound volume, then I was seeing certain accounts that ALWAYS used ups to ship to this company disappear...they started using fedex too per customer request. Kinda like ssi use to be, but seems to have fizzled out. Fedex getting more constant and ups going the opposite way...not good especially when were loosing some customers not on price but service...really not good. [/QUOTE]
