[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 868369, member: 22880"] So just how is Ground supposed to get a package moved in 2 days betwen LAX and JFK? Frankly, you don't know what you are talking about here. By attempting to have Express split out non-overnight volume which can be moved via Ground methods and that which cannot - would take too much time. How are stations supposed (under your misinformed supposition) to split out volume for Ground to move during the reload? The savings are enough for FedEx Corp. by taking delivery off of Express Couriers. Customers ALREADY have the option at WSC's and Office locations to choose between Ground and Express for the movement of their shipment. They give transit time quotes at the same time they give shipping charge information. The customers ALREADY take care of making the decision as to which service is to be used to do the primary movement. Why should there be further waste of time in differentiation between which method is to be used for cross country movement. Express already uses trucks BETWEEN ramps to move non-overnight volume, if there is sufficient volume to justify a CTV run. The larger ramps have MULTIPLE trucks running to destination ramps (bypasing hubs) that are within 20 hours driving time (allowing enough time at the destination ramp to put the volume through their PM sorts). Some [U]stations [/U]have enough 2nd day volume on Thursdays and Fridays that they send trucks DIRECTLY to MEMH for sort. That volume never even makes it to a departure ramp - it is bulk loaded into a trailer on Thursday or Friday afternoon, and driven directly to MEMH, where it is sorted then distributed in time to make the destination ramps' Sunday afternoon sorts. There are things which one can make informed guesses about - however here it is clear you don't have a working knowledge of how the AGFS system moves freight and utilizes CTV's to get as much volume as possible off the jets. That budget squeezing has already been done. [/QUOTE]
