Where I'm at ground shut down and express does everything.
Where is this?
Alaska. Not sure if it's statewide but they've been this way in my borough (county) for a few months or so now.
It's statewide. Alaska and Hawaii are now all being delivered by Express employees.
There is not likely going to be any classification change for any workers. While they are merging the opcos they are still keeping the air and surface divisions somewhat separate. The Express drivers will all be under the air division and deal with only air freight. The surface division will still be handled by contractors.
Exactly…kinda. They’ve started building combined Ground/Express stations already. Every division is being blurred and that probably became most noticeable a few years ago when Hround started changing logos from green to orange. Where does it end? No ideaJust like our air drivers never deliver ground
Yep, a station in the Bay Area is in a combined building since last year. But both operations are still separate, including restrooms and break rooms and Ground isn't taking their freight.
…until they do.
They aren't at that particular station because they don't want to friend* the service in the Bay Area. This whole merge isn't going to be a one size fits all as some think.
No and it doesn’t have to be. It can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch and likely by zip code at individual stations. Could happen by day, week, year…you didn’t think being in the same building was all about land and tax codes did you?
It is for this particular location. You think they're going to risk poor service and lose big accounts in the Bay Area with all that money? Don't think so bro.
Hey Tupac,
