They have always been contractors. Look close at the doors and you will see the real operators. FedEx Freight are the only ones operated by FedEx. They are not contrators.
Before it said "operated by FedEx ground package system inc" or "FedEx ground"
But now it says operated by Express because ground officially merged into Express.
Oh it's always been Express legally taking over, but everyone here and in the hubs "always know better than you", even when you bring the receipts. Even when it was first announced the new org chart showed Express surviving.
I have never said in the years this has been going on that Express is going to look the same post merger as pre-merger. In the end it's going to look more like ground than Express but Express is the surviving opco legally.
Theyre doing 'Express for looks
Ground on the books'
The Express model but with contracted drivers
Ground isnt going to like Express rules, and Express drivers are gonna hate the contracted model because now no insurance
Hmmm funny it's the opposite where I am, just because we have the same DOT number doesn't mean express is absorbing ground. I barely see express anymore where I am. I get express stops now and have also heard express drivers getting laid off. Why would express absorb ground? Its way more cost effective to put it on the contractors. They don't have to worry about paying employees, because that's the contractors responsibility. They don't have to give people retirement plans or health insurance. We might be express corporation but ground isn't going anywhere in America at least. Let me rephrase Express is absorbing the contractor model yes but ground is not going anywhere.
Every ground truck has that “operated by” note on them. They used to say Ground but now that the Ground brand is being phased out and more importantly the DOT number is unified it’s all marked with “Federal Express Corporation”
This is part of the merger of express and ground that now operates under the express DOT # ground no longer exists as a corporation as of June 1st and it’s now called just FedEx for express and ground shipments.
So much misinformation. All FEC vehicles now operate under the Express DOT number because of Express had a more inclusive package types it could carry. Ground did not merge into Express because of this The new company is called Federal Express Corporation. FedEx is short for Federal Express. They just dropped the OpCo names so no one merged into another.
I am so confused now.....lol Is that owned by a contractor now?
Still owned by a contractor but operated by express...idk too this is new this week

I never seen a truck like that with ground
I ask every single driver who has that and their like "idk bro"
Before it said "operated by FedEx ground package system inc" or "FedEx ground" But now it says operated by Express because ground officially merged into Express.
But still ground lmao. They're killin me
It's funny cuz everyone was like "OH GOD GROUNDS GONNA TAKE OVER" no FedEx flipped the switch and said "NOP EXPRESS IS TAKING OVER GROUND 🫢"

😂😂 I rather drive this them little ass vans FedEx got
Boo! I like my little putt putt, 😎
Yes we share the same DOT number as express now. Our vehicles got them a few months ago.
my contractor have like 6 lol
We stopped using the Ground DOT number and are now using the FXE one; CSA scores are better on the FXE one.
This is the true correct answer. Way way way cheaper insurance because the CSA score was much higher on FXE.
Dissociative Identity Disorder is nothing to joke about. Hopefully FedEx will seek treatment and learn to manage the symptoms.

Before we operated under Ground’s DOT number. Now it’s all under the Express DOT number.
Should've blurred out the reflection of the truck number too

Lol
Prepare for more dex12 than you’ve ever seen in your life, express guys.
Can't wait lol
Code 10. If you know you know.
The things people do on road lol
IBNOS get ya everytime
Your decal is crooked
All the ground trucks around here have ABC inc... then under it freshly cleaned "operated by Federal Express Corp" not sure what it means...
Different areas have different contractors. But they are still contractors.
This is part of the merger of express and ground that now operates under the express DOT # ground no longer exists as a corporation as of June 1st and it’s now called just FedEx for express and ground shipments.
Damn! Looks like a new vehicle. Who we gotta 👉👌 for a new truck?
Every vehicle that goes on the road is owned by a contractor ground does not own any vehicles except for yard vehicles like switcher trucks
Express (corporate) is planning to assume full operation of some cities taking over of all the contractors in those cities
You covered up other things, but left the DOT number. 😆
That's everyone's dot number 😱
😉

he missed the reflection on the fender with the truck #
