Fed Ex running 7 days a week?

Could it be because of the holiday season?

 

I’ll agree with @JonJon78 about the holidays, or it’s a quick route turnaround route that only has you logging 7-8 hours a day.

 

FedEx is going 7 days a week, p&d + linehaul.

Linehaul side as contractors we are expected to have drivers on alternating schedules now. Such as Sunday thru Thurs, Tuesday thru Saturday. No longer at Monday thru Friday runs going to be much of a thing moving forward.

I doesn't mean drivers will be running 7 days, I just means we contractors have to provide 7 day availability, by doubling our fleets essentially.

 

Yes that is what has messed up the cycle. "I have to have it right now". That's what Jack Ma in China said if you can't work 12 hours days you don't qualify for his company. I can only imagine what their getting paid. I'm no longer in a rush I'm off that cycle & its not like what I'm delivering is life or death products. Slow down & enjoy life it's very short and you may miss it.

 

i read somewhere that UPS will be doing 7 days deliveries and it was not cuz of the holidays, but the rising packages they get.

here it is...from back in July

UPS expands delivery to 7 days, add locations and drone delivery

 

when you have shippers such as one example Amazon and next day deliveries, this all adds up. a customer orders a product on a Saturday morning, gets it Sunday morning..they PAY for that next day, but hey, it's a small price to pay, to get something that quick.

 

It could be true
It could not be true
It could just be a rumor
It could be that I don't know
