Here here! And thanks from an ex-RPS er (now fedex ground) and his 401K
thanks you also!
UPS has been investigated for their "insurance" program. They send all of
the money collected for "declared value shipments" (insurance over $100) to an
off shore account...and if memory serves, they pay no taxes on this money, that
...if they do not pay the claim...is pure profit.
Hard to argu with the largest trucking company in the world.
