[QUOTE="BLACKBOX, post: 955180, member: 6700"] What I don't get is this: Why would friend Smith want to mess with the core group (Express drivers) that's responsible for the bulk of the company's revenue? If anything, I would think if the volume dropped off for Express wouldn't they try and fill the gap with non-priority freight from Ground or HD? If I am correct isn't anyone besides Express a contractor? A hired gun if you will. I read about new Ground Terminals opening what seems like every few months. It seems to me (as an outsider) that Fedex is trying and succeeding to expand their ground service. I just don't get that they would need to funnel express packages to Ground drivers who seem (In my area anyway) pretty busy with new accounts that we used to have. What am I missing? Fedex's goal is to have only contract drivers doing their routes in the future? or the downsizing of Express drivers? I would think it would be easier to terminate a contractor than fire an express driver? [/QUOTE]
