[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1076397, member: 24302"] But how many of the pkgs you deliver are vital, have to be there soon as possible pkgs? How many times have you delivered a pkg to an office just to watch signer toss it into an inbox to get to later? Overnight service is relevant when the economy is strong and time is money. Otherwise we are a service for broken parts, medical equipment, procrastinators and impatient wealthy people. We're good for payroll too and probably a few other things but beyond that how much stuff ordered off Amazon has to be there next day? At this point we just have to hope FedEx will scale down Express slowly through attrition. It's just disingenuous on their part to suddenly be talking about the changing marketplace when they've been building Ground infrastructure, consolidating Express stations, replacing bigger trucks, etc for years now. They knew a long time ago that they'd be more profitable with Ground and have been working toward that end. We've been used until they could get to where they want to be. That the economy is pushing business towards cheaper shipping is working out very nicely with their plans. [/QUOTE]
