[QUOTE="McFeely, post: 4528058, member: 60776"] I'm legitimately curious how much money the company saves by getting these packages off planes and into trailers and delivered by FXG. I've been picking up 2-3 a day during my pickups, and maybe our entire station has 50 outbound each night. If the company saved $1 net per package in labor/jet fuel/other expenses on every package and they do 100,000 of these packages a day? That's $100,000 saved, or in theory, extra profit for Express (which goes to shareholders and FS yay!). Anyway, just spitballing on those numbers but a daily amount saved could end up being a pretty good chunk of change in 12 months' time. And if sales can sell that free cargo space now available on the planes to high dollar shipments, even better (I lol'd typing that last line). Not that Express drivers will see any of it, especially with the crazy talk of running 2 sorts and further ruining any efficiencies we can muster on road. [/QUOTE]
