[QUOTE="SmithBarney, post: 3824496, member: 709"] Ground is very profitable, because of low overhead Express just has a high operating cost that keeps overall profitability down. UPS is profitable because well their system is overall much more (Productive)efficient than FedEx as a whole. I've been located in several US Express locations, and as a whole they are very unproductive after P1 compared to UPS. They underutilize most routes. about 25% of routes should be off road after P1, while others should be maximized on P2 product. But Express cannot pull that off since they can't seem to keep Part time employees, and when peak comes around they really need the extra bodies on the road. [/QUOTE]
