Recorded live at the 2026 Route Consultant Expo, Dave and Amy Byers of Slicker Trucking explain why the FedEx Ground P&D space remains a strong opportunity for new and current contractors despite online negativity and day-to-day business pressures.
They frame P&D as a proven entrepreneurship model with predictable weekly pay, no traditional marketing or accounts receivable, and the opportunity for quick scalability across routes and terminals. Drawing on their 20+ years of experience and expansion into linehaul, they share how network initiatives, 2.0, and future technology shifts strengthen contractor stability.
