FedEx dumps 40 flights, grounds aircraft as shipping demand wanes
FedEx foreshadowed cuts to its air network six weeks ago. Now we're seeing the exact contours of those measures. (www.freightwaves.com) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I hope they hire better delivery people. The current ones in my area are lazy sons of b*tches. Too lazy to drive tot he houses anymore. Used to be great.
Much of Fedex current issues and others are related to energy cost (fuel) and the inflation it causes as well as retaining quality employees if you find them at all. Poor work ethic and lack of quality education makes today's generation difficult to say the least.
Yes, people are spending more this holiday season but that does not translate to more shipping when you factor inflation.

I know that FedEx home delivery quality (at least out my way) has really gone down hill. I now dread it when a supplier notifies my package is coming FedEx. This started some time back and If I have a choice I will pay a bit more to get another carrier.
EXACTLY the same at my place. Too lazy to drop stuff at the house and left by the street. Happens all the time now.
Funny how this seems to be happening at the same time the pilots at Fedex have been negotiating their labor contract and getting close to the end of that process. Yes, Covid spiked business and Fedex made BILLIONS, with a B, of profit but now it's doom and gloom and lets park airplanes and slow hiring.....sure, ok.
Shipping demand hasn't decreased.
Shipping demand for FedEx has though. FedEx's suckage factor has been increasing over the last several years to the point I try to avoid them as much as possible.
