[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 889856, member: 12508"] All Ground tractors are owned and operated by contractors. As you have pointed out, the trailers belong to FedEx. My contacts cannot answer this next question, but maybe yours can. Where are all of the new roller-bed Ground trailers that we were seeing 2 years ago? Also, when a station loses W-700's and 900's, presumably they are being shifted to other FedEx locations. Or maybe they aren't. Where exactly are they going? Is it also possible that these walk-ins are being stored somewhere and will be offered to new Ground contractors as a means of getting started with lower costs? Ground could easily be utilized to take over current Expres CTV runs, eliminating the RTD job classification entirely if Fred so chooses. Contrary to information that has been posted on here, there is a very large [I]shortage [/I]of CDL drivers forecast for the next 5 years. Better compensation would serve to retain more quaified drivers. [/QUOTE]
