Nah, don’t worry about that. Fred promised excellent weather everywhere while he was on Face The Nation. All those packages will get miraculously delivered and he’s willing to provide extra moral support this year to anyone who needs help.

All the major carriers will suffer this peak season. The ones that can minimize the damage and recover quickly will be the winners. Who those are can be easily identified by the behavior of the stock of the publicly traded companies.

Article says the one that compensated it’s workers well is looking like a contender..the one that has constant turnover in the contractor model and continues to reduce benefits for its non contractor employees…not so well

I saw a report the other day stating that peak season volume will exceed total industry capacity by 4-5 million boxes a day. I saw too where in an attempt to beat the maritime shipping nightmare Walmart purchased it's own fleet of container vessels but still has to wait for it's turn to offload at the port same as everybody else. Something like 78 container ships were waiting in the harbor as of a couple of days ago. Fortunately, faced with the prospect of daily fines containers once offloaded are getting on their way to their destinations a bit faster.
In past years at Ground things would slow down sometimes quite a a bit 3-4 days before Christmas. I wouldn't be surprised if this year it's the complete opposite.

So when can we expect to see the snow-covered tarps?

Real soon. Maybe they’ll put Christmas lights around them too.

 

[Fred's Myth]

Not to worry….. all the freight is still offshore California.

Hopefully your route will be manageable this Christmas. Senior couriers like yourself deserve a break.

I know what the analysists consensus estimates are but I won't comment because I will not put up with the snide remarks that are certain to come from that world class a hole Old Falcon Fart . I am however tracking a Middle Eastern shipping company trading on the NYSE that's currently trading at an unheard off less than 3X earnings.
