Do you not pay attention to the dates of the articles you frantically post? LOL. Or just purposely/conveniently pick the date that benefits you? And of course COVID affected volume. But they got more. This is hilarious! LMFAO!You said FedEx Ground volume increased by 60% last year.
I said try again because you're so far off that it's funny. And, how much of the actual volume increase they got last year was because of COVID. Our volume also went up drastically because of COVID. We were up 65% by July of last year. I haven't seen a final number for the year, but I will bet you it was higher than FedEx Ground.
UPS shipping volume soars 65% | Arkansas Democrat Gazette
The pandemic-fueled boom in online shopping shows no signs of slowing down, providing more business for delivery companies like UPS Inc.www.arkansasonline.com
Last year FedEx Ground delivered 2.54 billion packages. In 2019, they delivered 2.28 billion packages. If you can't do the math yourself and figure out the percent increase, go to your local grade school and ask a 3rd grader to do it for you. I'll give you a hint though...it's less than 12%

I guess you are in that 20% right now.
Why would you stop at May 31 when I was obviously referring to the calendar year and particularly since COVID started? During which time FedEx volume increase dwarfed UPSs. Somewhere around 58% to 36%. Many shippers were struggling to stay afloat (or still had to appease stock holders) so they went with the cheaper options. Makes sense.
The numbers I “made up” appeared on multiple news articles across the web. Nice try though. Thanks for playin.

You still have no idea why your sources wrong. I’ll give you a hint. The dates matter.Source?
I see 29-30% for FedEx Ground. that's what we did. And the same was projected for peak.

There are numerous articles on the web that state FedEx volume was up 85% last year. Meaning, in the year 2020. Not fiscal year. Not whatever months you plug-in to your search. What the articles did not elaborate clearly on was whether or not they meant from the start of the pandemic to December 31 or the entire calendar year. Either way my comment, which was that FedEx’s increase in volume dwarfed hours, was accurate. No matter how badly you want it not to be.The dates do matter. FedEx Ground volume was up 12% for the fiscal year ending May 31, 29% last quarter and they expect Holiday volume to be up 22% over the previous year. Wow, that's 63%
Oh, wait, you don't add the percentages together, do you? Or don't you? Or do you?
I'll give you a hint.....NO.
FedEx Projects 22 Percent Increase in Shipping Volume in 2020
FedEx has hired 70,000 seasonal workers, moved to seven-day operations, and accelerated Sunday delivery capabilities to keep up with the pandemic-fueled demand.
If you were there when Micro-brakes were around you are LONG over due for retirement. What the hell are you hanging around for?
Damn--they used to tell us we were the worst center in the district. Then you would talk to someone from a different center and they would say "Damn-they tell us we are". UPS can't even get their lies straight.
Look I get it. You’re a company man. Probably in the safety committee too. But you have to accept the fact that FedEx had a higher increase in volume than us in 2020 because of the pandemic. During the time you’ve wasted frantically trying to put your mind at ease by finding stats to the contrary you could have found the article I mentioned. Seriously dude move on.
