FDX - The freight we haul
 
Visiting with a friend of mine the other night and he was asking me what we hauled out of different cities and who our big contracts where. I had to honest and say "I have no idea half the time what we're carrying (other than hazmat)". I knew of the diamond guy in LFT that we keep a spare airplane down there for, LL Bean in PVD? and DigiKey in GFK but that's about it. Anyone know of what we haul out of any other cities? (Other than the Post Office)

What we haul?
 
The freight we haul pays the bills.

Better than the type that does not pay the bills.....

Flew on another deadhead and now I know remember why the airlines cannot make money. If FDX operated that horribly we would not be paying the bills.

Agreed. The pax carriers should start putting people in containers, then charge by the pound. Minus the tare weight, of course.

Let UPS/DHL do their own work and figure out who the big contracts are, we don't have to give it to them on the internet.

Well, judging from MOST of the replies, everyone is as clueless as I am. I was just curious. Thanks :)
