For the greatest % of packages, if delivery areas were 1/3 to 1/4 the size, drivers would be able to meet deadlines for pickup and delivery windows while avoiding long double backs. Eliminating the double terminals(ground and express) is further savings.  A big reason fedex doesn't do that is because of the unionizing law exemption they have as an 'airline'  but at some point, I could see a challenge to that, because fedex has now a huge part of their entire business on the ground. They only keep the divisions separate on paper, and someday could face a challenge as to why fedex deserves a special exemption that competitors don't have. Fedex isn't home free regarding the ISP model just because they paid off the former drivers and attorneys</p></blockquote><p></p>
