Right. I've seen Ground move Express several ways. First, empty cans as you mention in a dry van. Second, bulk-loaded P2, also in a dry van. Third, unmarked leased roller trailers with loaded cans. I took a lot of crap (and still do) because they had Ground-logoed trailers with roller-bed floors that quickly disappeared once people started asking questions.
Express moves Ground to various locations, particularly Alaska, on FedEx aircraft....in containers.
