FedEx Freight | Delivering Express Shipments

[Holo989]

I guess Freight now delivers Express heavy shipments. I had one today that went from FL to NJ where someone at Express put a freight label on the shipment and it got handed off to us to deliver in GA. Had one last week that was similar.

The DR lists the pro from Express and has the shipper as Express.

Where did it get delivered to in Georgia?

If an express courier says something is too heavy to deliver, they'll weigh it and make a dependent. That's the procedure, It's always been that way. I think ground can do it too, but I'm not sure.

I'd rather not say where exactly but it was the northern part of Ga.

I'm sure they can but Express has a what you could call freight side. They deliver palletized freight on box trucks with liftgates. It just struck me as odd because it's the first time other than last week I have seen this.

Also it was only 213 lbs so not very heavy.

This topic was covered in a John Smith or Lance Moll video recently.

It’s part of the Network 2.0 realignment.

The CEO of Express was interviewed and discussed the partnership…

Thank your leadership for not sharing the video.

Express can hand off to Freight, due to any number is scenarios. Probably see it more and more, especially on long distance peddle runs. Not so much in dense Express turf.

The shipper being shown as Express tells you it's a handoff. They pickup on an airbill (Express Freight). Something we're not currently able to process.

Collaboration brother. Get used to it.

Nothing like delivering the third complete roof panel of a van to a dealership that has been on a plane and destroyed from express.

That should be classified to you on furlough.

Dave wants to know if there are any ravines in the area large enough to hold a truckload of boxes.

 

[SMOKESTACK]

Mississippi River will work , right ?

More room for Dave's packages.

 

[Dick Dastardly]

More room for Dave's packages.

You know something about Dave’s package?

You know something about Dave’s package?

A while back Fedx found a truckload of packages dumped in a ravine in Calif.
Naturally, I assumed it was Dave.
