I was at a Ground booth and asked about Patton they got real mad.
When they can no longer get people to put their own money at risk for the sake of a venture that offers nothing but increased volatility and shrinking margins then it's all over for Fedex Ground.

Patton is pumping out YouTube videos like crazy , they say it’s just an illusion that there are many Ground routes for sale, as they continuously push more routes for sale with trucks and so called equity. I think it’s much worst because there are lots of Ground trucks with the decal ripped off for sale.

When was Patton’s last video? I haven’t seen anything for awhile.

Why? They’ll just start pumping equity back into the model. Rinse and repeat.

This is a company that raised its dividend payments 53% last year at this time. It isn’t a poor company. Why would they abandon what they’ve learned to harvest?

Should have been more specific. I meant getting people to put their own money at risk just to buy a bunch of (for the lack of a a better description) "profit challenged" routes.

I'm thinking a bunch of W700s and various other stepvans with the logo recently removed is the sign of a "winning" business strategy. We both know that a lot of people who "invest" in Ground routes have no idea of what they're getting into.
