The USPS delivers Sunday and holidays around here. My question is “did you really need that (fill in the blank) today? Yeah it’s convenient, but better planning would normally fix the need for a Sunday or holiday delivery IMO. Of course the post office could say no to Amazon...
You all need to look back. This is the same type of stuff CCX,CWE,CSE were doing back in the day. This is how there start and have grown. I sure there were many CF drivers laughing at all the crazy work CCX did back then and thought it was crazy. Some post that the CF union rep told them not to worry at those CCX guys they haul the cheep less then 500mile frieght we haul ahul the 700-1000mile freight.
Next question will Amazon surpass Walmart at the largest private carrier?

Historically , Amazon doesn't want employees that it can't control and watch on a deep level.
That's what all the companies are going towards. It's just Amazon is way ahead of the game. The days of an LTL driver hiding is some parking lot sleeping or reading the newspaper, that what we did before the smartphone and internet, are long gone. Now instead of your boss wasting gas and trying to find you a few clicks and there you are and for how long. It sad though back in the day I known some driver that had some great hiding spots.
Isn't FedEx ground all sub-contractor they been around for years
Why would I want to leave XPO for a $20,000 pay cut? Lol. Screw Walmart. Sleeping in a tractor away from my wife. On the road for days at a time. Go ahead and have fun with the retail giant, I will stay right here with XPO. Life is good.
