State of the FedEx P&D Industry - LIVE with Amy Buyers

Route Consultant’s Josh Gregory and guest Amy Byers (COO of Slicker Trucking) host an Industry Insights Live webinar where they give an update on FedEx Express/2.0 changes affecting five P&D contracts, describing territory and stop shifts, truck up-sizing, staffing, and a building move, plus coordinating with co-contractors while designing their own operating plans. They discuss ongoing workforce challenges, retention through tailored benefits and support programs, and managing performance expectations. The episode explains how FedEx fuel supplements float versus a base rate and why they don’t fully cover fuel, and breaks down large-package pay as a prior-month percentage affected by small-package injections and seasonal sales. They cover operational tactics for bulk/IC surges, planning for Prime Days and peak, scale considerations, and typical route-business valuation multiples based on EBITDA.
