[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3667436, member: 58386"] I can remember when not so long ago you said it did. If not then what's stopping it? Managers have told me that one of the drivers behind go back to all purple and orange colors was that customers especially shipping receivers want everything both express and ground to be delivered in one trip. They're tired of having both of them running in and out the place all day long. Having trucks the same color isn't going to do much in that regard but it's a first step. Expect the next step to be some type consolidated truck numbering system. Don't worry the contractor model isn't going away. The economy of the model will continue to be exploited to the fullest possible extent but there will continue to be efforts undertaken to hide and disguise contractors existence. Ground has always been treated like it was a prominent person's illegitimate kid that he had to a piece of trailer trash but in the end finally had to acknowledge it when unpaid child support issues became public knowledge. The profitability of Ground is that illegitimate kid in this situation. [/QUOTE]
