My question is why would they request to be sent to a forum that is only for the moderators. I do not drive for them and they way it looks I'm glad I dont. I didnt see a bunch of negativity or bashing but after the move I'm pretty shur its on the way. Just my 2 cents but if your not letting your own people know why things are the way they are we will all fabricate our own ideas. I personally use EO for a info resource and I'm sad to see it handled this way. Like I said just my 2 cents.

Since when does a company control an entire topic of discussion?

Just an FYI
There are times when a thread needs to be pulled.
I can't comment on this specific thread but I can tell you when I was a Mod for a car forum, someone posted a press release from Ford about the new Mustang. He was an employee of Ford and a really great and reliable source for good correct info. The only problem was the PR was in draft form when it was posted and not supposed to be released until it was 'officialy' approved. Within the day, we all got an email from a Ford VP asking us to pull the thread so not to publish possible incorrect info to the public. He was rather nice and clear but was asking us, not telling us and did give the option to leave it there. We agreed to pull the complete thread, which included 140 posts and this really p*ssed off a lot of members but we reasoned that it is better to get the right info instead of having a lot of assumptions and wrong info floating around. We later received a large box each with the media kit for the car, a bunch of promo stuff and the proper press release (which was completly different from the first).

So what your saying is Lawrence will be sporting a new UPS shirt drinking coffee from his UPS mug (which by the way is like twice the size of a normal mug) and playing with his matchbox car sized UPS Truck (with flames)...
Greg - thanks for clarifying for the group.

As I stated way back when . . . certain individuals were claiming to represent UPS policy.
I will reiterate: I have been doing expediting business with UPS for almost 11 years and what was represented here on EOL was somebody's ego outrunning UPS corporate policy.
UPS is a great company to work for.
Be safe and never pretend to be something you're not.

Due to the fact that UPS bought our former company (Emery), they didn't even realize they had an expedite division (IMO)until mid last year. UPS corporate policy has given us piecemeal information, and it's simply a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. this had NOTHING to do with ego, but my taking the initiative to try and better the UPS Expedite brand. I was given marching orders, began to execute, then in the middle of that process, was given new marching orders. Do you think we would pay the healthy monthly fee for advertising on EOL if someone of authority (management) hadn't authorized it? THINK before you speak, even if you THINK you know what you're talking about.

Yes I was talking about Sheila in the Dayton office, I drove for Emery Ex when they first started before Menlo took over. decided to retire when UPS showed up. was a great place to work when it was Emery.
Yes, I was here too, been here since 1996, and I'm starting to agree with you.....we had no problems keeping our relatively small fleet busy, in fact, O/O's had to turn down runs fairly regularly. It wasn't unusual for ST teams to average 5000 miles a week. where have all the good times gone?
