Well I can now say I was wrong

[ManInBrown]

I was in a residential neighborhood today and a FedEx home delivery driver was nose first in a 50ft long driveway. He backs out right into traffic. Almost got nailed. And then goes speeding off doing about 60 in a 25. Only a matter of time before the FedEx house of cards falls. The company is a joke and the frontline employees for the most part have no business being on the road commercially

Seriously, do you realize how long y'all have been saying such things?

What is confusing about it? FedEx Ground is faster than UPS Ground from point A to point B. I thought that was pretty common knowledge. Trains slow UPS down.

"Faster" just to deliver it to the wrong address?
Fools gold.

Let me ask you a question. Do your drivers not get the same weekly paycheck whether they get done at 4:30 everyday or 9pm everyday? Does that not cause a major safety issue with the general public? When Boris knows I better run my you know what off because I'm not sitting out here till 9pm because bbsam doesn't give me extra money for working late

It has just started with that court ruling last year that "ground clowns" as express calls them are employees. It should be interesting to see what happens next.

If you read closely,.that was an appeal from an older.case. The model has since been changed to step into the lighter shade of gray of the law.

Their (FDX) ground driver retention has been pathetic in our area for years.

I don't have drivers out until 9pm. I'm afraid many of the stories you've heard are somewhat exaggerated.

The stock price shouldn't be a concern but the empty suits in Atlanta don't agree. And until they ditch the idea that the stock price can be artificially inflated by lying to Wall Street about ORION they will always fail to reach their goals. UPS could easily pull away from FedEx if they would concentrate solely on customer service. And that includes adding feeder runs. There is no logical reason why UPS should ever be threatened by a competitor that typically employees drivers of the caliber that "ManinBrown" mentioned. It's utterly ridiculous.

I hear complaints every day from people on my route about the horrible service from both FedEx and USPS, most people don't care if it gets to their local hub 1 day faster, it seems that the other guys have trouble getting it to the customers home.

If FedEx Ground and HD didn't suck so bad ORION would have definitely steered plenty of volume their way. We've had more than a few longtime customers attempt to switch once ORION changed their delivery times. It didnt work out though.

One would think that Fedex would be losing market share, no?

I've seen major companies try to switch but reliability brings them back to UPS.

I've seen major companies switch and stay. Some of them I wish would switch back.

Does the post office lose market share?
The internet market is growing faster than all of our volume percentages.

what do they mean by "lanes'?

You can bet your entire business that FDX is fudging those numbers. I mean let's be real here. Many of them came over from UPS so that guarantees that they were already experts at fudging reports.

That looks like growth to me.

How does one fudge those numbers? That's just silly.
