[QUOTE="Fedexcellent, post: 5676073, member: 92849"] Still seems like many of the targeted stations have been in smaller populated cities and areas, with perhaps the exception of Jackson, Mississippi. But that location had been a VERY difficult station for quite awhile and had some other dynamics that didn't work in their favor. I don't think they were targeted, necessarily, but they didn't do themselves any favors.... especially when they were within a few hours trucking distance from Memphis and in a declining region. I still believe this will truly be a hybrid model, as the company has said. I don't believe all areas and stations will see stations close and freight all moved to ground. I think the company will do it where it makes sense. My personal hope is that the bigger metropolitan areas, especially the ones that are growing rapidly, are not affected. Easy to assume if you just read the conspiracy theories that FedEx is trying to eliminate the Express employees entirely, but I'm not seeing that to be true. The company even said they plan on reducing their station count by 100 stations in the United States by 2027. That doesn't sound to me like they are planning on merging every Express station into ground and laying off 90% of the employees. [/QUOTE]
