FedEx Freight | New ground trailers

[Ratchet]

Went thru WME last night there was 30-40 maybe more brand new long trailers. Wondering if anyone seeing similar at other hubs and what you guys thoughts are ?

Long vans are interchangeable between all of the opcos. Not just in the road but also in the city. You do not lose that much space when it comes to the savings you get by using them in multiple ways. Pups will be a thing of the past.

Just new equip. No conspiracy theory there.

Yep keep telling yourself that.

My experience after pulling 2 and 3 pups and then pulling a long van, wow this is pretty easy! Almost too easy. That's on the road tho, not in the city.

Fedex ground smartpost uses mostly 53 footers.

My center has been selling a good portion of our 53s and replacing them with 48s.

I don't need to reassure myself of anything. I have zero investment in anything Fx.
Still, it is quite possible that they simply bought new equip, and are phasing out older units.
What else could it be?

Sad for you the stock is up $11 @ $246 .

I drive a Peter. It's not the best unit but it gets the job done. Oh wait. Are we talking about trucks?

Wrong again,
I sold @ $303

If you consider $246 to be up, you missed the boat.

Look at THAT post.
Whoa.

It's about time.
No more 2 for one sale every time you hook and pull them.

You tell him.

Pups will be a thing of the past.

As they should be.

 

[silent trucker]

As they should be.

They won't be a thing of the past. They've been around since before I was born and will still be around long after I'm gone...
