Isn't FedEx Express a little redundant? I mean, I know FedEx has an Express shipping division, but it just always seemed silly to me. It's like saying VIN number...drives me CRAZY!
I guess they have to do that now for ID purposes. Federal Express was the original name but the now have 5 0r 6 solid divisions, all with a corporate VP at Mem but operating HQ's all over the country. Progress.lol
It would be if Federal Express still existed, but after a few anti-monopoly rulings were handed down against Federal Express the company was split up as follows:
FedEx Express: Airline and int'l/domestic airfreight small package ground delivery
FedEx Ground: Domestic small package ground delivery
FedEx Freight: Domestic Less-than-Truckload (LTL)
FedEx Trade Networks: Int'l brokerage, Sea/Air import/ecport
FedEx Custom Critical: Time-sensitive nationwide
And so on...each has a different color code.
