Not good "business" for us personally unfortunately. UPS' domestic trucking/rail network is mature...we will only see more flying. Good thing there's plenty of work for both of us. Add to that, if the dems really get all cargo screened we will both see alandfall from the pax ops
Bob,

What some guys fear here is that Fred will truck more... I promise you this.... If he could truck it now cheaper he would! We had guys crapping in their pants in '97 when the USA Today article came out that Fred was going to make us a computer tracking (internet) company.

Thanks God guys don't feel that way now!

We'll not lose flying to trucks...
