    Well I guess u freight and national guys heard about the merger of three fedex companies into one ( fedex freight). Its fedex economy and fedex something I forgot the other name but for those who know some terminals are closing but fedex is giving the employees the opp to still work for fedex in other areas or giving the ppl a severance package either way I wish everybody goodluck for the future and hopefully we can all pull thru this situation.

    From USA today: " Fed Ex will combine it's freight and LTL units on Jan 30 2011 and close 100 or 20% of it's service centers. The 1700 job cuts represent 5% of the freight divisions employees "

    Apparently these divisions have been suffering from the downturn. The article says only the ground and international ( flights ) have been holding the co.up in the black.

    I wish the news was better.:biggrin_25511:

    Tru I wish it was better news too , but what will haapen is that fedex will still provide the customer with the same services . The only thing that will change is that fedex national will become fedex freight , it was done for a couple of reasons one being the customers. You would to fedex shipments goin out but it would either has to be fedex fr. Or fedex ntl it was reallly confusing to the customers and the drivers .

    Q: If they cut 1700 employees and close 100 terminals.... how on earth will they provide the same service level ?

    Or are you saying that LTL and NATL bump the same docks whereas in the new unit only one truck would bump the dock and collect all freight? They had that much overlap?

    # chalupa yes that is what is going to happens , instead of a customer having a pick up for freight or ntl it will all jus be freight . But the customer would still have the option of having it as express which freight does or they could choose economy which ntl does. I will be no change in service , it will jus be under fedex freight now.

    Has any body heard anything ? My terminal was told we are losing a lot of ground and that the freight guys in balt , md will take the majority of our runs and we will only do the inside of 495 which is not a lot at all ! Right now its only like two drivers who does that area and we will get d.c. , but shid its still not enough for everybody to work. Sounds like bs to me. If we only changing the name why all this ? Bs is officially in the AIR !!!!!!!
