The Impact of Fuel Prices on FedEx Ground Operations
Fuel cards are the way your drivers will pay for fuel (if you enroll in a fuel card program). These cards look like a credit card, but there are important differences between a fuel card and a credit card.
Are Electric Vehicles Viable in the Package Delivery Industry?
Electric vehicles (EVs) are all the rage in today’s consumer market. Many cities and states, particularly on the east and west coasts, are edging ever closer to lowering emissions and adopting a more electric vehicle friendly environment. FedEx Ground has vowed to be fully carbon neutral by 2040. EVs will certainly be a big part of that initiative.
Fleet Strategy for FedEx Routes
Our team of actual FedEx contractors worked through the math of new FedEx trucks versus used FedEx trucks in our own operations. We always want to make the most efficient choice for our fleets. We have compelling data that shows new trucks are the superior option for routes that are 150 miles per day or less. Why is this the case?
Linehaul Fleet Strategy
Many contractors overlook the importance of a good fleet strategy. In the linehaul space, this becomes especially important since you’re dealing with very large, very expensive pieces of equipment that can make or break your business if something goes wrong. Creating a strong fleet strategy will not only improve the efficiency of your organization but save you a massive amount of money in the long run.
Can I Lease My Fleet?
What many contractors don’t know, however, is that there is a strong argument for using full-service leases in some cases. If you have routes that travel 35,000 miles a year or less, a full-service vehicle lease may be the best option for you.
