Ground taking over

[MrFedEx]

And Alex, the question is "What will MF do when asked to provide links?"

Not play your game. Farmer Raj had 2 silos, one Ground and Express. He's combining them, and used this verbiage. Crawl over to his desk, and ask him where he said it.

You're not making any sense.

It makes plenty of cents it's how FedEx lost ground to UPS to begin with lol, but seriously what doesn't make sense is you typing like a serial killer. I think I would question someone's thoughts more so after seeing that, but that's just me.

I guess that's the internet equivalent of cutting up newspapers to create your threatening letters.

I think looking down the line the possibility exists that even though they are folding express stations and laying off the majority of some of those stations employees, there's still a scenario where FedEx turns around and takes back the entire operation after it's become more consolidated.

It’s possible I become a billionaire but realistically unlikely.

Same could be said about Ground absorbing Express Service.

 

[fdxsux]

Manager said today that a couple of Express stations in the continental US have taken over ground deliveries. Billings, MT and a station near San Francisco. Anyone else heard this?

Alaska and Hawaii, they don't have ground

I know one thing , you have no clue what’s going to happen, the same as the rest of us. My opinion is it’s impossible for the company to be run under the contractors model. Just what my experience tells me

Express has no choice, look at the earnings reports for last 3 quarters.

I see you’re Still preaching this after what we’re seeing in Canada.

I’m curious what Fat Freddy’s plan is for when no one goes to work for Ground and/or the company’s reputation sinks even further down into the toilet.

It’s not going to ground

It’s not going to ground

It would appear that you're one of the few die hards remaining at Express.
As a publicly traded company FDX is required to file reports detailing it's operating results including it's forward looking guidance statements with shareholders as well as the SEC.

Now you might have some limited success bull crapping your way around shareholders including the many institutional traders holding large blocks of FDX stock although the information is heavily scrutinized but you simply do not put anything over on the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

FDX has made it crystal clear that it will dramatically downsize it express operations by kicking as much Express volume over to Ground as possible along with maximum use of air cargo brokers. I think it's a pretty safe bet that they meant what they said.

An estimated 29,000 people have already lost their jobs and they're just getting started.

Now the smart express guys are today assembling the parts needed to make the jump to the next chapter in their working lifetimes. Whether it's retirement, going to work for a Ground contractor although people have shot themselves for less. going to work for an industry competitor or entering a completely different economic sector. Whatever the case may be they're doing the right thing by not sitting around in denial.

FedEx directly said that or is that another one of your “educated” guesses? Let’s see if this one will stick. Not about being a diehard express. I just wouldn’t lead people in the wrong direction with their career decisions with these assumptions. A whole country and Your biggest trade partner has just said they’ll be express only and buyout ground. But now “it’s only Canada nobody cares about Canada”. Nowhere in their presentation did it say they’re getting rid of either the express or ground divisions. This ain’t a sought after job so they’re gonna try to hold on to every courier they got. They coulda told everyone at ground to eff off but will instead give them a position at express. It ain’t as easy as you think to fire people. You’d have to pay huge amounts of severance and lawsuits on top of that.

Would you say the same thing if it was Iran? What’s express doing in Mexico? Catching on?

Sell the company to UPS or Amazon

Or maybe a menage a trois merger with ghl and dhl

Looks like the board needs some copium after the news out of canada

Considering that's not the plan, ok.

I don't deny he said it once, and maybe twice. You said multiple interviews in the media. I'm only asking for 4.

For someone who just loooooooooooves to tell me I'm wrong about everything, here I am asking for you rub my face in it, and you won't do it?

Yet there are Ground trucks delivering packages all over the place.

There are also Ground trucks running little kids over, dumping packages into ditches and crashing into trains.
