My husband works for FedEx Freight and he said there has been some buzz with the road drivers that things are changing soon. Not positive if it's for worse or for better, but this is an interesting thread to read after hearing him talk about it for the past few days.

Fed X sucks anyway. Another private corp trying to pose as a Government entity.
Everytime I walk into the local FedEx they look at me like I've got two heads and give me different prices on the same box every time. Screw Fed Ex.

This is very concerning.

FedEx, UPS & the such are usually adding jobs this time of year to prepare for the rush in Holiday shipping.

Couldn't possibly have anything to do with your dems having a field day with new and ever-increasing stifling regulation and taxation over the last several years (with exponential increases in this regard just on the horizon). Naw...couldn't possibly have anything to do with that.

Fed Ex is liberal minded and run by anti constitutional morons.

They won't allow conceal carry on their premises and they wouldn't allow me to ship ammunition to the manufacture.

It was 5.56 PMC XTAC and 10 boxes- I marked ORM-D on thr box and the lady behind the counter acted like I handed her a nuclear reactor.


She called corporate and they said they dont ship ammunition.


I went to UPS and they had no issues. When I got the return package from PMC it was sent FED Ex.


I fucking hate FED EX

I wonder how they can fund the 11 car Denny Hamlin in NASCAR if they are so broke?

Calling BS. FedEx stock opened at 90 and climbing. Flailing companies don't open at 90 and go up. Further, there has been no notice of layoffs. Publicly traded companies have to announce layoffs.

No, Nixon was a great President. He got us out of having to pay gold for Federal Reserve Notes held by foreigners, and we only had to go thru a short time of his wage and price controls in return. Now the USD is still the reserve currency. We would have been crushed now by demand for gold repayment if foreigners could still demand that.

And this, I believe, is why the Watergate furor was drummed up to get him out of office. Who really cares if some scumbags broke into Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office, it was strictly small-time.

Re: ECONOMIC CARSH IMMINENT: Fedex Slashing Thousands of Jobs!!
One key measure of global economic health is how much freight – raw materials and manufactured goods – is being shipped around the world and in the United States. In July of this year the Balctic Dry Index, a measure of the price to pay for the movement of raw materials by sea, hit a record breaking low and signaled a steep decline in global manufacturing and consumption.

This was a key indicator for where the economy was headed on a global scale.

Just a few months later we’ve received confirmation of this trend from FedEx, one of the largest shipping companies in the world.

Yes, Americans are still shopping, but they aren’t shopping at the same pace they were five years ago. Their jobs have been eliminated, wages reduced and credit has been restricted. FedEx’s latest earnings report is proof positive of this:

[link to investors.fedex.com]

Earnings for the first quarter were below our expectations as weak global economic conditions dampened revenue growth, drove a shift by our customers to our deferred services and outpaced our near-term ability to reduce FedEx Express operating costs to match demand levels.

Prominent CEOs around the country see the writing on the wall, as do many political and financial insiders such as financier George Soros who warned earlier this year that even the best-case scenario will be painful:

[link to www.shtfplan.com]

I am not here to cheer you up.

The situation is about as serious and difficult as I’ve experienced in my career.



We are facing an extremely difficult time, comparable in many ways to the 1930s, the Great Depression. We are facing now a general retrenchment in the developed world, which threatens to put us in a decade of more stagnation, or worse.

The best-case scenario is a deflationary environment. The worst-case scenario is a collapse of the financial system.

Uneducated douchebag! Government doesn't send any job out of country. They regulate and tax them out. Companies are started to make money! NOT JOBS! which side of the balance sheet do you think employees are listed? If these companies cant make money here due to tax and regulations they will move. And that is ALL the Liberals fault.
