actually the AIR part doesnt mean its gonna get on a plane
Now if you want it next day or I think its same day delivery there is an option called SONIC AIR. Now with that it does get on a plane.

If UPS can put an "air" package on a rail trailer or a team driven trailer and make the service schedule, they'll do it to save money and keep prices low.
what? Fedex gives a really good insurance package, they just don't force you into it like UPS does with there union:ghey:. Oh, we get paid more and still don't have to pay dues. h:

wow, somebody's brainwashed...

i didn't mind being locked into a health insurance plan THAT I DIDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR :chuckles:

btw, UPS doesn't have a union. UPS workers elected teamsters as their union, the corporation didnt.

After three years at UPS, I was making 17.56.... How much are you guys making?

17.56 to sort packages? Or what were you doing for them?

I always hear about how well UPS pays..... which just makes me mad because of how much it costs to ship a damn package.
