If the quality of their deliveries, especially Fedex Ground, remain the same, they will never be able to compete.

That would require not stressing their drivers to the absolute limit, which is terrible for their bottom line.

fedex ground is still like the old rps, a poorly-managed collection of contractors and sub-contractors. only the air freight ('express') is really 'fedex'.

They still have a responsibility to ensure their drivers aren't overworked, even if they try and pass the buck to contractor companies.
