[QUOTE="oldrps, post: 868358, member: 36765"] In the days before FedEx Ground, RPS had 2 Day and 3 Day services. They stopped these services when FedEx made the purchase. Hard to believe, but Express took volume from Ground. The two day packages were hauled to the nearest hub at night, it was taken to the airport in the morning where it was flown to a central sorting location, I think Indianapolis. It was sorted in the late morning, early afternoon and flown to the airports near the RPS hubs late in the afternoon where it was sorted and loaded to the destination trailers. The three day packages moved by ground and only flew the three day that was four or more days away. This is nothing new for FedEx Ground and they could easily start it back up. I would guess now with their much improved service levels versus the old RPS days, they would truck a lot more than they did back in the day. [/QUOTE]
