They are dismantling what we were to become the Uber of airfreight. Little capital involved other than some sort facilities and the technology to run them.
This, all over. I knew my Express driver and got to know a few counter people at my shipping center. All have retired or quit since, forced out or it’s been too painful for them to keep working here. Hiring cheap labor when they do, one step above McDonald’s.
My Express driver’s truck just said Ex on the hood, the Fed was washed out. Been that way for years. Really foreshadowed the future.
Joe Flipperhead’s Contracted Service Provider trucking delivered some expensive aircraft paint to me the other day, the arrows on the box are supposed at your front door right???
We have no brand now and what’s left will be carved up more now that Fred is gone.
