I always keep the profits for myself. That’s how business works.
The rest of your babble is just that. Blah blah, “nobody can deliver express service but the super special express drivers.” It’s not hard.

According to the FedexExpress home page Freight is expanding service too. A cheaper way to deliver heavy weights.

The only crying I’ve heard at FedEx is from contractors! Whaaaa we need more money! Whaaaa we’re going bankrupt! What happened to spencer? You better get in line and deliver those boxes on time or you’ll be replaced.
No. Neither does Express. (@Operational needs)
No. That’s not happening. Contractors are still walking away.

One of the reasons I retired. Don’t know how it is now though.

Do you have a demographic in mind to "replace" those people who aren't delivering the boxes in a timely manner?
A demographic that will tolerate disrespect, heavy lifting, long hours and poor wages.
And do it without all the sniveling.
Where oh where?

What's even more pathetic is those contractors that believe this will work and be profitable for the contractor. They're making the system even more complicated and inefficient than ever before.

I'm pretty sure Express has better service% than Ground. Although it has slipped quite a bit the last few years due to incompetent management.
I’m pretty sure both companies use BS codes to inflate their on time service numbers so I wouldn’t put any trust in the paper you’re pushing.

Yeah, was it last year where they said "to hell with it" and made everyones area the next service level down?

And you think that would make service less likely why exactly? Having skin in the game will be bad for service levels?

Bad for your bottom line, because making service is expensive and inefficient.

You don’t know what the compensation will be. I also don’t believe you care about my bottom line. You’re just making stuff up to be argumentative.

Freight is payed more on average and the benefits are better thanks to union threat.

1. We both know that FedEx will undercompensate you to increase their margins. That's called history.
2. My caring is immaterial to what will happen to your bottom line.
3. My facts are your fiction, if that's what you prefer to believe. Desperation will do that to you.
Yes its possible UPS does it....but UPS payes close to 40 bucks an hour and benefits. Ground drivers get paid around $800 a week, no benefits, and suck at even delivering what they have now. The ground guy in my area doesn't even get out of his truck, just drops it in the grass at the end of the driveway and drives off. Business....just leave it out front, DSR just sign for it,.....raining or snowing leave it out in the open....Fedex will fail and thats why im bailing.
Its very expensive, hence why Fedex is pushing them onto the contractor. Add 50% to daily miles because you have to run service, the flat day rate drivers are not going to like skipping stops and working 12 hr days.
