Ground taking over

I find his assessment hard to disagree with.

And I think that's exactly what the great, ponderous heads with all the college degrees at FedEx are banking on.

I think FedEx has purposely decided to plan on being a second-rate carrier behind UPS.

All with no future too, no long term security, no benefits worth staying for, if any. So the selling point for Ground is “work for us, we suck less” .

Yes. Exactly.

In my area, Ground contractors are always hiring drivers. And contractors have no trouble finding fresh meat.

In comparison, UPS in my area is very difficult to get hired at.

That’s not good for the consumers. It used to be UPS that reacted to what FedEx did. They forced UPS to innovate and provide better service, economically. With that pressure gone, it will result in the quality of service at UPS to continue to drop.

UPS and fedex tried to reinvent the wheel with all these stupid delivery algorithms. The best assets by far is a well paid, quality courier who respects his job and company. Who comes to work on time , runs efficiently and cares about his customers.
Both companies got away from that and are paying the price , more so on the fedex side

I think that many Americans have become accustomed to lowering their goals and expectations in many areas of their lives.

Many kids growing up in the 70's and 80's watched what happened when factories closed and their dads discovered that being skilled in a blue-collar trade became the province of the chronically unemployed. My family was lucky, the vast majority of my friend's families were not.

Now they want to talk about a "skills gap." LMFAO!

I can't help but notice that probation officers and drug abuse counselors never seem to have an idle moment.

I delivered to a senior citizen complex yesterday. Ground road the elevator up. Slid the perishable food item out the door, road elevator right back down. Coincidently, it was a package that was addressed to same apt I was going to. So I took it and walked it the 14 more feet it was to the door. Knocked, announced myself, said you’re welcome.

This is the future of FedEx.

Apartment buildings always have signs that say “Amazon & Fedex please deliver to Apt doors ‘’ never says UPS They actually do their jobs!!!!!
