Ignorance is bliss isn't it?American taxpayers give an $18 billion gift to the post office every year
I would go as far as saying they are a "free standing" company. The post office is completely useless. I can't even remember the last time I received anything important from USPS.
Dude express and ground are on a decline. One will be a part time company the a Frieght company humping 150 lb boxes and furniture. The other will be overstaffed and you'll be lucky to get 32 hours a week. By the way express will find a way to get rid of you when they know the job can now be done by a high school drop out. USPS IS your best bet, don't let these fools lie to you, I know because I worked for both of them!
Not declining or regressing but rather restructuring and redeploying it 's capacity . No question that Ground will be hauling what we call "boulder in a box". 100 to 150 lb. motor freight stolen off the LTL's. We began to see it about 2 years ago and it's only going to grow. It will tear apart those stepvans which are nothing more than 1-2 ton running gear As long as everything somehow managed to be stuffed into those vans the fact that they were overloaded weight wise, that was the contractors problem. Bust springs busted center pins, busted cross members, they didn't care as long as it went out the door.Ground is on the decline? Really??
And where do you work now?USPS IS your best bet, don't let these fools lie to you, I know because I worked for both of them!
Yes decline, from the perspective of the worker and contractor, more for less,,,,,Ground is on the decline? Really??

I see you like to count your chickens before they're hatched.As a shareholder I see nothing but $$$ in my future.

Before you that you better look at things like the Moody'd bond rating, analyst's opinions, forward looking guidance , debt to equity ratio, balance sheet, forward looking EPS , might change your mind..Oh, and don't forget the $ 468 million dollar hair ball it has to hork up to settle class actions involving employee misclassification and they are just the opening round.Ground is not going anywhere; yes, the type of packages that they pickup and deliver may change, but they will continue to be the more profitable opco.
Express is transitioning to a part time opco.
Time to buy more stock!

I don't know if you guys have been watching but the U.S. Dept of Labor and the U.S. Dept of Justice are enrolling states in a cooperative program designed to track down employers calling their people " independent contractors". Last count 31 states have signed on. In addition there have been a couple if bills introduced in the U.S. House to crack down on this practice but only target construction contractors initially. Some time in the future there will be a final legal definition of what an "independent contractor" actually is. What will drive it is the guys hurt on the job and go to the hospital with no workman's comp along with billions in unpaid taxes.FedEx ground model has run its course under the radar for the past 20 years. The gig is up, I know they all ready anticipated these scenarios and have contingencies, however there best days are behind them. It's going to become more difficult to keep up with those inflated returns they have enjoyed.
This will be before the supreme Court one day soon because to many companies in different industries are attempting to do what they have, Wright out the use of employees and call them contractors ,.
You must be joking. The USPS is losing money at an extraordinary rate. It's another one of those wasteful government programs that need to and will eventually be cut.
My understanding is that all first class mail sent from one coast to the other flies on FedEx jets. That brings in several hundred million annually.
Instead of raises this year they will take a dollar of your hourly rate.
Cameras are in the trucks recording you.

He's being funny.Are you just guessing? You mean they will apply the would be raise to their bottom line?
How do you know for sure about any cameras?
