Might Not Be That Bad After All.

Cyber Monday sales down 1.4% from last year. In addition Amazon says that it will become the world's largest parcel delivery company sometime next year and currently delivers 72% of it's parcel volume through it's own delivery network. On the flip side Walmart is saying that the jam up at ports is breaking free and stuff is beginning to move. Might possibly result in the week leading up to Christmas an absolute avalanche of last minute deliveries.

From what I'm seeing "sales" are a misnomer. Most companies have jacked up prices 30-40% or more in last year and then their sales are 15-25% off .

so , ya, we are taking it in the you know what once again.

Fake news. You have to have your own delivery drivers, trucks, pilots, planes,, etc for that to count

As long as AMZN's DOT numbers are on the side of the truck and AMZN's freight is going in them and AMZN's copyrighted logo is on the side of the truck it's their network and they control it.
Same thing with FXG. Truck's and drivers are all leased and run under FXG's operating authority.

Yesterday the 2 day freight that was ordered on “cyber Monday” didn’t even get to us yet and we had routes building 190-220 stops.

Good news. You paid by the hour. You have a management team to figure it out. When you approach 14 hours…bring it back. Repeat daily

Light duty trucks are one of the fastest depreciating pieces of equipment known to the U.S. economy.
