If the money is right, we’ll probably have APV drivers run the late air. Basically folks in minivans.What do you think happens when they add late air freight on top of your ground freight? You'll be forced to del Air first and then pu, drop outbound then continue to del Ground late into the night. You think turnover is bad now? You ain't seen nothing yet.
" If the money is right". Where have we heard that before?If the money is right, we’ll probably have APV drivers run the late air. Basically folks in minivans.
That’s right. Express elites replaced by part time soccer moms. I know, I know. “It’ll never happen!” Where have we heard that before?
Ah, the good ol' days of the 1990's when they couldn't close factories, get rid of good paying jobs, and drive down wages fast enough.
It's an impossible situation for rural contractors. So for rural contractors in addition to gold, silver and bronze levels there will be the new precast concrete footwear level. That's what will awarded to the rural contractors when they go to live with the fishes .What do you think happens when they add late air freight on top of your ground freight?

We've been there for a couple of years now with casual couriers. They are limited to 24 hours a week, no more than 8 hours a day, don't get the market adjusted premiums that are present in some areas, can pick and choose which days they want to work each week (or none at all, however they want to do it), get no PTO, and I don't think they get any other benefits either. It's popular with many of those who fill that role because of the flexibility and because it can lead to a permanent job with benefits and so forth if they want that.
In that case, they get late air. It’s not like customers haven’t gotten used to it.
Great business model.
It’ll still probably be on time out in the sticks. What’s the time commit out there 4 pm?
Ross Perot was right.
Very possible.
Partially. It’s not all NAFTA. This is good ol’ American capitalist greed laser focused on the next quarterly report.
Just wait until your phone rings in the mornings and you can hear all the wonderful excuses why these soccer moms can’t make it into work.That’s right. Express elites replaced by part time soccer moms. I know, I know. “It’ll never happen!” Where have we heard that before?
I'm pretty sure most soccer moms aren't looking for extra work with the time and effort it takes to taking care of the kids and home. Any free time will more likely be to do something they enjoy doing.
As if I haven’t been dealing with that for the past 15 years
You haven’t done much child raising, have you?
I have plenty of experience with soccer moms over the years. Trust me they ain't looking for extra work with their free time.
Oh, NAFTA did so much of the work it had an aching back. Greed can't hold a candle to legislation, either in terms of incompetence or screwing people. Greed can be responsible for bad ideas, but greed is also the reason why those idea get killed off. Legislation is a different animal. Legislation can do the exact opposite of what's intended, or create a bunch of side effects that no one thought of, and people will fall over themselves to either spend more on it, "reform" it (aka keep failing, just in a different way), or protect it for some dumb reason.
So you put up with a flaky soccer mom business model for some 15 years and still you continue to do so? Sounds like they’re the ones “running” your business.As if I haven’t been dealing with that for the past 15 years
