you could be right. But those items would have to be shipped whether through conventional sales outlets or through the internet. Wouldn't you think that internet sales would boost revs for UPS and FDX rather than traditional trucking companies?

>>You may be right....but IMO one of the "trends" of 2003 will be increased Internet sales, which will result in more shipping of various items<< hi libbyt... another trend for 2003 will be increased state and local taxes....i've heard some rumblings that states may push for internet sales taxes..that could be a problem with sales.....also taxation on services is being mentioned for example in CA...the time may come when we will be paying a "sales" tax on our delivery services...although i think that will be one heckuva hard sell....
