[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1187217, member: 32753"] Actually, the transit times are due to Ground's reliance on contractors rather than employees OR rail. A road team can beat the transit time of a trailer riding via train. Couple this with FedEx being able to use contractors paid at a cheaper wage than a UPS road driver, and you have Ground transit times handedly beating UPS' times. UPS cannot shift more volume off the rails because the union will neither allow more contractors nor a lower wage for road team drivers, but they really, really want to. [/QUOTE]
