I really think you underestimate Ground's proficiency. I understand that you see what you see, but I think you see a very limited piece of the Ground network. We really do have the potential to be very, very, good.

I'd agree that the potential is there, especially with the FedEx penchant for efficiency. But I doubt it can be realized until you are able to attract career-level employees who have a vested interest in staying with the company.

It's an issue for me too because my wife and I are not of the same race. I guess that judge in Lousiana wouldn't have married us either.

But that judge does let people of color use his bathroom. Probably so we won't crap on his couch.

It is a different career level employee that is being sought. It is drivers looking to become contractors that will make the difference. That being said, there needs to be more contractors selling so that drivers can see what is possible and not feel they are in a dead end position, and yes, the company has culpability in that as well.
