[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1024027, member: 22880"] The word on the changes are starting to filter down to Ops level managers. Many throughout the nation last week had a meeting regarding the impending changes. They were all told to keep their mouths shut. It does appear that Express Saver will end come December 31 of this year. I can't get independent confirmation of this, but I believe the source has more behind it other than just informed speculation. But I'm not ready to come right out and state that this date is set in stone. It appears that Ground did pick up a few large accounts (there was talk about this back in March-April here), and they are anticipating a large spike this peak from these shippers and consumer shippers. FedEx wants to keep the Express Saver service going through peak, to help take some of the pressure off of Ground. Once peak is finished, Ground will have the capability to easily take the additional 10-15% bump in volume that would result in Express ending 3rd day service. I'm trying to get confirmation from a source that is familiar with the truck routes out of Memphis (that carry 3rd day service out of Memphis to areas within about 750 miles) to verify if impending changes have/will be made in the scheduling of these routes (presumably come January 2013). There WILL be an announcement made to the Express hourlies in October. It will be thin on real details and impact on operational pattern, but an announcement will be made. DRA is still being brought up to speed, and won't have full operational capability till next summer - then in only about half of stations. The other half will be rapidly brought on line through the end of 2013. The clock is ticking on your career... You'd better start doing something rather than complaining and bitching about it.
