[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1248132, member: 29298"] I've had no issue with OnTrac. I haven't bought anything that they just don't leave on the porch so the wife doesn't have to feel threatened, BOO! I hear the "Driver Car and Driver Looks" a lot... from competing carriers Sales Teams. It is over-stated by them from our investigations which are more in-depth than what they have. I also know that there is a percentage of shills in the industry as well. For example, it is far from unheard of that a UPS related person calls up and complains about any carrier other than UPS delivering to them, just to protect the mother-ship. This happens. Now there are legit complaints as well, but it's not as big of deal as the Big 2 make it out to be. It's a "nice to have" and if price is "near" equal they would win out vs a regional. UPS/Fedex aren't immune to unsatisfactory deliveries. The one that kills me is the person who calls Amazon and says "Do not use X carrier again", their system and partners are not set up like that, you pretty much get what they have pre-choosen, in almost all cases. Regional carriers improve like everyone else, long-term they will improve if they remain profitable. That said, as I mentioned the Big 2 are probably a lot more competitive than one thinks in these next day zone 2's. [/QUOTE]
