[QUOTE="fedx, post: 4555072, member: 64891"] I think this has been in the planning for a while. Look how FedEx incorporated the purple and orange logo on all company brands now. Look how their nascar logo on the hood now just says FedEx. It no longer says Ground, or Express, Freight on the hood and hasn't for a couple of years already. Look how FedEx is running "last mile optimization" this year. I think they are trying to blur the lines of the company. The last mile optimization is the real concern as to where the company is headed. Are they going to become like UPS and eventually have all air and ground packages delivered on the same truck? If so, will their contractor model used for Ground become the standard for everything? In other words, will Express stations go away and Ground take everything and everyone will be a contract employee driving a truck that just says "FedEx" but no mention of Express or Ground on the truck? I guess we'll find out soon enough. [/QUOTE]
