Shippers need to monitor the level of service they're using. When it comes to fuel, the carrier can help shippers identify air to ground shipmentssometimes it's hard to believe but they will do it to keep the business.
More Quotes from Doug Caldwell:
I think FedEx wanted to get out in front of the curve on this issue to beat UPS to the punch. Having a 5.5 general rate increase, but reducing the fuel-surcharge index by 2 gives a 3.5net average rate increase. They wanted to get that out there first, because there is a huge disparity between UPS and FedEx in terms of fuel surcharges. FedEx is at 20 and UPS is at 12.5.Doug Caldwell
We are glad that the DOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) took another look and came to the proper decision.

I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.
