freight levels are down everywhere. the economy is slow.
You are right time will tell. The big boys were in Houston a month back and they told us it was because our equipment was so worn they did not want to waste money. Sounds good, just never heard what they plan on doing anything other than stopping the rebranding. Maybe sell the Company is an option?

Yes UPS has decided buying us was a mistake, and they are currently negotiating with a junk dealer, too sell us, so this dealer could manufacture paperweights and paperclips......
How's that for a rumor.
Skeeter, You are correct. They wish their decision was just like these computers and could hit the redo button. It will cost them as much to fix the Company as they did to purchase Gordon's folly.
Yup Accelerator the looks and laughs I get when I carry a small package to a customer.
While they are checking out my day cab,and 48 foot route trailer.
You know the standard question is always.
UPS needs such a big truck to deliver my small package?
I always answer back the same old thing.
UPS pays me to drive this rig on my route,and your on my route,so please print your name on the top line here,and sign on the bottom line.
I usualy have to point out where they sign.
Even though we don't have big DR's people can't figure out where they have to sign?
Some customers don't get that they have to sign anything,after all we are UPS,they don't always need signatures?
Gee wiz give me a break,I only go by the UPS incentive policy,do what I'm told to do,or get fired.
The big thing is I can't understand why any customer at the origin,would be willing to shell out the money to use freight, rather than parcel?
The way I see it UPS is slowly taking over. Through you don't see a lot happening on the outside. But under the hood there is all kind of things going on. I think what brass we have left will conform or be gone.
Do you think the old Overnite Richmond offices will be moving on down to Atlanta?
