Yellow | "....will never return...."

UPS freight is in trouble! They are trying to run a freight operation like they do the small package and it ain't working. They have mucho claims because they don't understand the difference. And since they refuse to discount any of their freight pricing, they are losing customers left and right.
I will agree UPS makes lots of profit but almost all of that is in different areas than the freight. If the LTL industry is going through a dramatic change as the article states, it won't be long before UPS corporate cuts bait on freight.


Just came out today, As I read it a small tear came to me weary eye!!! AAAAhhhhhh just a wee bit over HALF A BILLION DOLLARS PROFIT.
 
You left out a ton of stuff other than gays, for instance relating to me and other unemployed guys, extensions of unemployment benefits, new cobra laws, easy student loans to get going in a new direction, big tax breaks and payment breaks for those loans. It goes on and on but you have a selective memory.
Big business is also your enemy.

I admit to not remembering all the broken promises but who puts the freight on your truck. If business perceives the teamsters as being anti-business because the teamsters endorsed Obama why would they do business with us?
 
I R not sheeple

Hey freefromdat. It sounds like to me that you don't care for Alex Jones. Sure he might be aragant but he does have some very good points. You must be one of those sheeple that listen to propaganda every day just like alot of other american dumb down sheeple's.

Listening to Alex Jones IS listening to propaganda, I’m not a conspiracy nut either. I have been guilty of visiting his website Alex Jones’ Prison Planet.com its interesting stuff, but just keep in mind it’s not a charity organization, they put this crazy stuff out there to sell to sheeple.
alex ripping beck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZEnV_-R-10 now thats funny.
 
I’m no fan of Carl Marx but you can plainly see where unrestrained capitalism has gotten us cant you? It’s sad and funny at the same time that the rich convince the poor that socialism is evil while they take more and more from us. Caring for your neighbor or co-worker, or your country’s
Average citizen (me and you) is not evil, it’s the right thing to do, and it shouldn’t be a question of how much profit can I make off of it. “The art of leadership. . . consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention. . . . The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category.” (ಠ▄ಠ, 1925) This is what they do to keep them rich, and you poor. Make any kind of "change" an enemy. because it will cut into profits. Don’t fall for this.

:clap:I'm with ya FREE. A question for all of you so afraid of socialism.... do you use the public library? do you like having a local fire and/or police dept? what about pubic schools? oh and medicare. all socialism, are those things so bad?

It`s a pretty big stretch to call a fire dept. and a police dept.and public library socialism.Medicare,I pay for every week,taken out of my paycheck,just like social security.When I collect medicare and social security,I`m collecting from what I paid into.No one is giving me anything I didn`t work for and pay for.I pay for fire,police,and library with my taxes.Those things are really necessary.The socialism most people don`t want any part of is censorship on the foods you eat,the cars you drive,the people that run our gov`t without fair elections,(not saying that all elections are fair)the tv shows you watch,your right to free speech,your 2nd amendment rights,etc.This is what socialism will do for you.Wonder how happy you would be having the gov`t take 60% of your pay so they can share it with your neighbors that choose not to work for a living and live the same lifestyle that you do.The rich are never going to share their wealth.Socialism only takes away from the working people and eliminates the incentive for people to work,and will only lower the lifestyle of the working class.
 
yeah, socialism sucks, duhh

Don’t forget social security, disability, Medicare/Medicaid, food stamps, student grants/loans, homeless shelters, FDIC, public defenders, and the list goes on and on, many of you have no idea that the government foots the bill for any and all flood insurance claims, And also all unpaid emergency room bills when some poor laid off guy with no insurance has to go there as a last resort because he has no other choice. Thank god that if the day comes when you “anti social” fall of your high horse and can no longer look down your nose at social programs, someone or something will be there to help get you back on your feet.

Government foots the bill??? And just where does government "earn" the money it uses to "foot the bill" as you say?? In case you haven't noticed, it comes from a hefty portion of what we who work earn from our labors. From the feel of your many posts, you seem to have somewhat of an entitlement attitude, always expecting a handout of some kind from the government. And that government takes more and more from the workers in order to give to the increasing numbers of "slackers" in our society. I have no problem helping the really needy, but there are way too many these days just looking for a free ride.

so⋅cial⋅ism [soh-shuh-liz-uhm]
–noun
a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.

I believe most of the losses of freedom you speak of come from communism.

com⋅mu⋅nism[kom-yuh-niz-uhm]
–noun
(often initial capital letter) a system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party.

That’s a crap argument, career welfare ended with welfare reform and it was nowhere near 60% of your pay. You don’t know the difference at all between social government programs
And communism. Nobody is going to take your soda pop or your Glenn Beck TV show away from you. You can still get as fat and stupid as you want. “eliminates the incentive for people to work,and will only lower the lifestyle of the working class” what rock are you living under? Have you looked around at the country you live in lately? we are already there.

I don’t want a handout, I’ve worked hard my whole life trying to get somewhere only to have it striped away from me by corporate greed, they get fat and rich while we “take a bullet for the cause” screw that. What “slackers” ??? you mean the tens of millions in this country who lost their jobs, insurance, and homes? What? You think they’re on some kind of a holiday at your expense? Walk a mile in our shoes. come down here with us and look up, instead of looking down your nose at your fellow american who fell on hard times. you will be next.

OK, I'll bite. Explain exactly how corporate greed managed to strip away all you've worked for all your life. I don't quite understand that. How exactly did you "take a bullet for the cause"?? You're quite poetic in your posts (you're not ready from a teleprompter are you?) but how about some specifics. I've experienced losing my job more than a few times and have had to change jobs and careers a number of times so I've already "walked quite a few miles" so to speak.

You may be right about the difference between socialism and communism in some respects,and I do know the difference,but they are both social engineering programs and personally,I don`t want any part of either of them.As far as losing 60% of your income to the gov`t in taxes,what I`m trying to say is if this country is turned into the socialistic country you desire,the possibility of paying that amount in taxes "For the Greater Good" is a possibility.As for soda pop,the Glenn Beck TV show,and still be able to get fat and stupid,you seem to know more about that than I do.
 
Screw Them all as long as i get mine corp.

In my infinite wisdom (Haaaa) its not hard to see what I’m talking about. Assuming you’re a yrc guy, you have first hand knowledge of this “take a bullet for the cause” thing. And even if you’re not you still are living with it. we are all in agreement that the recession was caused
By corporate greed, one of many examples is .the banks gave out loans to just anybody for anything and then sold those loans at a profit, then the apr/amr rate is jacked sky high for profit on people who couldn’t afford the original payments. Now here we are with bank bailouts that you and I paid for. Another example is the never ending river of American jobs being shipped away to other countries, for instance maytag shipped all its jobs to Mexico so they could profit by not paying American workers, all those workers “took a bullet” so Maytag
Could boost profits. My uncle worked at tryco when they shipped his job away, he and everyone else that worked there lost his :eck13: so tryco could profit from it. bottom line is this, we average working schmucks chasing the American dream are being sold out “taking a bullet” so the rich can get richer. So when a president (finally) comes along and wants to toss out a nail strip in front of these corps, im 110% behind it, and when these same corps toss out $millions$ in scare tactics and lies, ask yourself what their motive is? Because they care about you?

I'll explain how corporate greed managed to destroy middle class America.Oh,where to start,how about all the risky mortgages given to people who should have never been given a loan of any kind,then they packaged these risky loans together and sold them to pension funds and others.These greedy s*Bs knew full well these investments were a time bomb that would explode in the future,it didn't matter to them because they were making obscene profits.Maybe it is because these greedy corporations keep closing plants and moving them to Mexico or China in the name of increased profit(can you imagine how many jobs would be created if just a quarter of these jobs came back).So there you have it triplex,maybe you are one of the lucky ones that still has his job.FOR MANY AMERICANS ITS HARD TO CLIMB BACK UP WHEN CORPORATE AMERICA KEEPS GREASING THE LADDER.

You're pretty good at pointing that finger. You should be in Washington helping to bring down capitalism so instead of the country being the land of have and have nots it'll be a land of have nots only. Folks like yourself that don't have anything think socialism is the way to go. It's only fair. Ya right!!

You forgot something. This was a left wing screwball government policy. The terms were in the contract all the time and the dopes didn't know it

ya, that's awful isn't it. How much would you pay for a Maytag or an American made auto if there were no foreign competition here in the US.

You should have went to college..maybe you get rich too and make an investment or two. Give the suckers a break. right?

Its difficult to pay for anything with no jobs.

I don't think its the college education that is making them rich but the fact that they have no morals and definitely no conscience.

Short of a Revolution,our current President is our best chance of swinging the pendulum back in favor of whats left of the middle class.
 

I did what one gentleman suggested. I e-mailed the writer of this article that is weak at best. Let's see if he answers. Writers like him are just like the weatherman, "It's going to snow this winter". He makes a prediction without any facts. I would bet that he sits down for tea with the Fed-ex executives and owns stock in their company. My suggestion is to whiz this guy off.:nutkick:
