Haven't been on here for years. I heard express is delivering ground now. Is this true?

I heard this from someone i used to work with that is still at express.

In some places that is true. They’ve kept some Express stations open and couriers are delivering both services in the zips they cover. Most places they are sending everything to the Ground stations and closing the Express stations. Merger is supposed to be complete by 2027 everywhere.

Wouldn't call it a merger. The dismantling of Express after lying to it's employees for decades. Such is life.

Mr. FEDEX didn't lie to you. He said this would happen.

I agree. I was talking about the company.

Micromanagement and the constant lying from management was really what made me leave. I feel lots of express folks get comfortable making just enough to live. I was there for 9 years. Just has enough. Saved all my sick and vacation to do interviews and that sort of thing and was gone pretty quickly. When to city and county and after first year of making less every year was $10 raises. Maxed in 3 making 6 figures. With unlimited ot as well. So can't recommend doing that enough if you feel this will happen to your station soon or in the near future. Dungo still around?

Nobody wanted to listen to me back then

The genie is out of the bottle. They will only ever give ground more, not less, eventually phasing out express couriers. Maybe not tomorrow, but eventually. Welcome to being the boiling frog.
