Nothing is official this is speculation.
I think it will happen sooner than we think. I just don't know how they will go about doing it. We express become contractors or will ground have to be rehired as official employees?
If they make ground employees of FedEx they will have to buy a whole new fleet of ground trucks. If they make express contractors they could sell their fleet to contractors.
Reasons that make me speculate this inevitable merger are.
1. Changing all colors to express orange
2. Eliminating FedEx home delivery
3. Changing ground tracking from 16 to 12 like express
4. No more over lapping FedEx trucks in same area
5. They like UPS system
6. All drivers will have p1, p2, xs, pups, and ground. It would mirror UPS profitable system
7. Customers are demanding it. It's too confusing for them to realize what driver is express or ground and most ship both ground and express daily
8. Stock would soar through the roof
9. Most women and older topped out people would leave because they never intended on working like a ups driver
10. I really don't think Frrd Smith would care about a union threat because 1 he would be able to afford it. 2. He doesn't think us drivers could get organized because of the volume we would be too busy / tired from the volume.
Just my thoughts feel free to agree or disagree
