[QUOTE="Socrates101, post: 2098796, member: 61915"] Very constructive thoughts. Thanks. This smells like trouble both for ground and HD operators. I further assume that territories for Ground and HD don't coincide which is an issue that they (FDX) would need to fix. It seems to me that a more reasonable alternative for FedEx would be to shrink territories and make HD pickup Ground while Ground delivers HD. This could be messy though since I don't know if one would end up with the same income. It could be positive on the expense side though since routes would be shorter. Also, I suspect this will create opportunities for some to make money and for some to get screwed?? On ground: since ground gets higher rates from FDX, does this mean that their margins are higher? Or do salaries and larger trucks offset any revenue benefit? Regarding Trucks-don't both HD and ground deliver stepvans? Or does ground drive larger stepvans? Thanks again for your input :) [/QUOTE]
