[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5912105, member: 58386"] This is one time (and it's not often) when you're right. A couple times a week I have to go visit ill relatives. It's a 75 mile trip on the interstate. If anybody wants to know the direction your company is going in just go out and count the number of FDX trucks on the interstate. The largest number by far. In the end it's likely to become what it appears to be headed for. A package, LTL and expedited freight trucking company that contract flies a little freight but far far less than it did during it's heyday. The danger lies in whether or not Ground contractors can successfully integrate Express freight into their operations, meet commit times and be paid enough to cover the cost of additional trucks and manpower. If as it appears they are being required to haul it for free with severe penalties for not making time commits....one can only expect the outcome to quite unpleasant. [/QUOTE]
