[QUOTE="Maui, post: 4361214, member: 45037"] I don’t think so. Some thought that when FedEx Ground started. Looking at the chart Makaveli posted Pharma and signature required packages are excluded. The announcement says it will be select packages and lists matching criteria. It will be determined by the origin location and the destination zip code. FedEx does not want empty Express trucks. They want to fill them with higher yielding packages. It may not happen immediately and there will be a drop in volume once your market is included, but there are more business packages out there to be had. No one really knows how it will effect individual markets let alone stations. The announcement does not say all 2D, XS, IE and resi SO is going to Ground. That isn't realistic. Let's see what happens in GSO and find out the impact. Let's find out the next market(s). FedEx started FXG and no one was moved to PT. FedEx stopped delivering Amazon and no one was laid off or forced PT. Hiring will slow to prevent having too many people and some work will be moved around. Eventually, the trucks will be filled with other packages. And FedEx will be more profitable - more money for raises, facilities, and stakeholders. [/QUOTE]
