That might work domestically for about 2 weeks, until the manglers all time out, but you can't move international volume by truck. And that's where all the profit is for UPS. In 97, the Teamster strike ended about 1 week too early in my opinion, because Atlanta never got to feel the pain of having no way to move their intl volume as the manglers were about 3 days from their FAA max time for the 30 day period. Merry Christmas to all!

The reason you don't see Fed Ex managers at UPS is because they are probably not good enough.
