[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5112708, member: 58386"] Your numbers simply reaffirm what I was talking about . 2 million a day was about the best it could do prior to the buyout. Now post buyout in the 13 million a day range. That came about as a result of Fat Freddy believing and wrongly that he could transform RPS in the form and design it was in to address the huge service gap that existed prior to the buyout . Now what do you have today? Yes you have contractors with multiple route but that was created by FDX in an effort to make them look like true "independent contractors" in an attempt to protect themselves from more law suits. Nevertheless they never have been and never will be true independent contractors thanks to that 1 year unilaterally drafted and implemented contract. Their task hasn't changed That is to find people in a shrinking labor market to go out there and match the production of the average UPS driver and do it for half the wage and zero benefits along with serving as a firewall against the incursion of a union represented workforce..... Don't believe me? Then you tell me....aside from the two tasks I mentioned just exactly what are contractors doing that Fat Freddy can't do himself. So who's the clueless one now? [/QUOTE]
