One thing is certain if it continues to go the way it seems to be...Express will no longer be a "career." Pretty damn sad.
What will happen to the express Drivers....

I just want to make friends!
OK, but we have more Ground guys coming to Express than the other way around.
It will be fine

There’s 4 or 5 times more Ground guys than Express. I’ve gotten several former Express applicants lately, they weren’t being treated terribly well.

Wrong. There are more Express drivers than Ground.
How so most express routes cover the area of two or three ground drivers.

Other way around. The time commits and pick up services Express offers requires more routes than Ground. There are more buildings and personnel at Express than Ground.
I’ve ran many routes they all have had at least two ground drivers in the same area the route I’m on now I see four different ground drivers everyday. Ground areas are smaller which equals more routes.

Nope. That might be your location but Express has a bigger footprint and more employees by far
Whichever side and whichever OPCO you align yourselves with it still comes down to the fact that the success of this new endeavor will still require highly productive, professionally behaving.....LOWER COST labor.
AND JUST WHERE IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU"RE GOING TO FIND THEM?
What kid with even a slightly above average intellect, motivated and has himself focused on the future is going to take the kind of deal Fedex will have to offer in the days ahead?

Oh I see ground doesn’t really have “employees” so of course we’d have more. Not sure how you would even get an accurate number for ground.

Mak likes to count the entire international workforce. Domestically there are a lot more Ground drivers than Express.
4 or 5 times more Ground guys? I have to call bull
on that. Where’d you see that? Express is the largest of Fedex by far. I mean just look at the superhub in Memphis and Newark.

I’m talking drivers. How many drivers come out of the super hub?4 or 5 times more Ground guys? I have to call bull
How many ground drivers does your hub have?

A couple hundred. I have at least 4 trucks on the road for every Express truck in my area. Even if they have another driver on the pickup side, I still have twice as many drivers.

Cool story bro.
So you have 4 drivers covering the same area? Well I guess you’re one of the contractors getting the boot.
No different than UPS. They drive smaller routes delivering a lot more pkgs so more drivers than Express couriers in the courier's area.

I guess you just don’t understand how anything works.
