[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1109757, member: 22880"] Take a look at any 5 Ground drivers... They all drive trucks which say in great, big letters: FedEx The brand of FedEx was sold out over a decade ago - the brand was developed with Federal Express, gained public recognition and is now being used to rake in the cash. If one of the Ground contractors could comment on this... I think there may be as many Ground routes operating out there now, as there are Express routes. It would be difficult to get hard numbers on this, but I think there are about as many Ground delivery trucks out there as there are Express delivery trucks out there. If this is so, then logically it goes that any random encounter between someone of the public and "FedEx", would have a 50-50 chance of that "FedEx" being a Ground 'helper' - as opposed to an Express Courier. And you still think that FedEx hasn't already realized this, and ACCEPTED it? FedEx was sold out years ago - the issue is that the Couriers still think they work for the 'flagship' of FedEx. You can think that all you want (it actually works to Fred's advantage, you thinking you have some 'specialness' due to working in Express), but in reality, you merely work for one operating company which is struggling mightily with poor management whose only saving grace is that the wage employees of their Express company aren't organized.
