[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3515502, member: 58386"] A honest question deserves an honest answer. Roadway Package System was designed to be a strictly business to business carrier serving a niche market . When Fat Freddy got a hold of it he tried to make it become all things to all people and serve multiple markets. It was never designed for that and fractures in the network are likely to become more numerous. The simple fact is they make all their money off of Ground and therefore a consolidated all employee union represented work force will be the option of the last resort. Now, what does all freight have to first pass through?...The hubs. Today, what new party is coming into market?....The investor class. Lawyers, bankers, private speculators etc. It would therefore appear that one option might be available . X maintains control over the hubs and line haul operations. The investor class will take it from there. They will build their own terminals or more likely take control of existing terminals and their final mile operations which will include terminal personnel vehicles and delivery drivers. XG will maintain full control over the things that matter, rid itself of a headache it doesn't need while preserving a high percentage if not all of it's original margins Where do the P&D contractors fit into all this?..... Since when did they ever matter ? [/QUOTE]
