Fedex Ground and Fedex Freight are two entirely separate operations. Freight is LTL operation, formed from American Freightways and Watkins Motor Lines. Ground is the competitor of UPS Ground, originally RPS, Roadway Package System, part of Roadway Express.
It’s ridiculous. The Staggers Act was 50 years ago. Still whining!
The Staggers Rail Act was passed in 1980…

Both Santa Fe and MoPac briefly operated air freight companies.
If you are not a regular industrial kind of shipper - you have to take your shipment to FedEx and UPS. They deliver but don’t pick up for us regular folk.
Right. A typo doesn’t change the fact that the rails or at least our resident expert is excusing the rail ineptitude in operating as customer-centered transportation operations today for a situation that ended 41 years ago. Living in the past, riding the same ol’ hobby horse.
What country do you live in? In the United States Federal Express picks up, and always has (they now charge $4 if you’re not a ‘regular’) and UPS picks up, and always has, and they advertised yesterday that it was free.
I use the UPS Store and the FedEx kisok’s.
Actually not right… This doesn’t excuse you from the fact you had the timeline wrong… If I said staggers was passed in 1970. …Somebody proceeds to correct me and I reply with… Right. The railroads are still whining!.. Well I was still wrong about the timeline, and should accept the correction…
So to your statement railroads are whining…What exactly are they whining about?

After Staggers passed - it took more than a decade for railroad management’s that had been trained from their employement date about what they COULDN’T DO to figure out what and how Staggers permitted them to do.

Could you just go back and read my entire reply above? [Hint: resident expert]. Add BALT’s remark about it taking the rails ten years after Staggers to start anew. That’s still 20 years. Whole new industries have been started in less time.
Welcome and adapt to change or go the way of the horse and buggy or US Steel (the sun off is a shadow of the old steel company) or the O&W.
And yet 41 years after the game changed, not 50 like you claimed, railroads are still making money hand over fist.
Railroads have been adapting and changing ever since Statters. While we may not like it - PSR is adaption and change from what existed before. Who knows what form of adaption and change will follow PSR - but something will.
Ya know on a phone it’s easy to hit the 5 instead of the 4, but you wouldn’t know that.
Profits and losing customers every day, hand over first.
Ya know on a forum it is easy to edit a “mistake” on your own post, but you wouldn’t know that.
Profits and gaining large customers every day, Amazon and Fed Ex come to mind.
Ya but most people wouldn’t need the correction to realize and understand the point of the sentence.
