Small to Medium Size Courier Companies around the world, not just in the USA, but all over the world, - are everywhere..  They perform the exact identical SPPD Process we do here in the United States of America.  Other than the names of the people, and places, and the different colors on their vehicles, they're all the same.  The Europeans. Southern Hemisphere,  at least 65 % - are about the same (some slightly behind) but as bulk group – are right in-league with the USA.  Courier Companies abroad treat their Workers better.  Over there, somewhere - there is an Independent Courier Van Driver Association - in existence in Europe, Asia  and Other parts of the world.  The Independent Couriers Van Operators concerns,  are a worldwide concern !   American ICVO's voice must be heard.  Laws protecting Drivers, Couriers, Laborers, Contractors, Sub-Contractors -  and have to be enacted. 

Courier Companies in Europe, Asia, Australia, etc. are about  90% the same, with minor differences.  Maybe because the Europeans don't have the US's “Volume Factor”,  they can concentrate more on the smaller details in their company... just maybe.

Alright, lets not be that hard on the US.  The United States should try to give more attention to the Drivers, Workers, Laborers, Administrative Clerks, Fort Lift Operators practically the entire Labor Workforce.  The AICVOA believes the USA can lead. 

We (the United States of America) needs to take 1 substantial step forward, and create a plan for the next 50 years.  The USA definitely has the volume.  The USA moves the most of any other country.  Foreigners have to be that-much-more-better to compete (try to generate the same as USA type profits) in the Global Small Package Pick-Up & Delivery Industry.  Quite the interesting contradiction-in-terms.  The USA moves the most packages, “but less perfectly”, while the rest of the world moves less packages, “but more perfectly”. 

In this section, Advertisements for Courier Companies have not been included.  There are many advertisements for courier services - abroad the world, there are dozens.  The AICVOA applaud our foreign courier company counterparts and their work ethics and humane treatment for the workers, and the act of SPPD's.  Their AD's are Outstanding in Presentation, showing the human element the SPPD process.  Ad's viewable in archives as a member.

The Importance of the Express Delivery Industry for the East Midlands Economy

Oxford Economic Forecasting 1 January 2006

 

The Importance of the Express Delivery Industry for the East

Midlands Economy

 

Key Findings

 

The express industry directly employs over 4,700 people in the East

Midlands. It supports over 10,200 jobs in the region and generates almost

£300 million of Gross Value Added (GVA) taking into account indirect and

induced multiplier effects. Its contribution to regional employment is

expected to rise to almost 16,000 by 2014.

 

A broad range of industries in the UK use express services. But the largest

users include ‘high-tech’ sectors such as manufacturers of electronic

components, the telecoms industry, and business and financial services.

 

The express industry is used particularly for business-to-business

transportation of high value/low weight products (eg electronic

components, pharmaceutical test materials).

 

While direct and indirect employment is important, the greatest

contribution made by the express industry is in enabling East Midlands

companies to compete effectively in an increasingly global market.

 

Given the sectors and the type of companies which use express delivery

services, the express industry relates directly to the East Midland’s

Regional Economic Strategy’s (RES) aspirations and objectives around

continued economic restructuring, and growth in high-value sectors.

 

Access to air services through Nottingham East Midlands Airport is vital or

very important for about 10% of companies in determining the decision to

locate in the East Midlands region. In addition, there is likely to be an

impact on firms located in the wider Midlands region who employ people

who live in the East Midlands.

 

The express industry is dependent upon flying at night to deliver the

significant economic benefits it generates for the East Midlands and UK

economies. If next-day international delivery services were no longer

available, our survey has shown that some East Midlands firms might

relocate to another UK region and others might relocate to another country.

 

Given the emphasis of the RES on the development of high value added

and high-growth sectors, it is likely that the region will over time rely

increasingly on the express industry, and the success of economic

restructuring could be more seriously affected by restrictions on nightflights.

 

As the AICVOA considers this area for further investigation.  As a member you will be able to visit the archive vault and see docs in a clearer format, the entire file.  Allot is at your disposal.  The AICVOA has compiled these documents for the benefit of it members, so that the greatest knowledge and corresponding data, can be taught to our membership.  This is one of the way's that gives the greatest advantage to our members of getting educated.

Many documents show you that Foreign Country’s take the business  of “Courier Service”  very seriously.  The USA should be equal and should be just as vigilant.
