[QUOTE="El Morado Diablo, post: 1193386, member: 40760"] It's implied, but not 100% accurate. I don't think you can assume Amazon will give all the freight to Ground once they've built all the distribution centers they have planned. Could we lose a great chunk of it to Ground? Yes, of course, with FedEx's blessing. I just thought it was interesting to hear it come out of the mouth from someone above the Sr Mgr level. One question that was posed was, "How would the taxation of internet sales affect shipping volumes?". The DM said it wouldn't affect them and the legislation was supported by companies like Amazon & Wal-Mart. Why? Because they were big enough to absorb the costs that would hurt smaller retailers.
