As I understand, FedEx Express are FedEx employees and paid properly. FedEx ground is “independent contractors” who are poorly paid.

I do not understand the logic behind devaluing the FedEx brand like that, especially since a FedEx express driver will not pickup a FedEx ground package and vice versa. They expect customers to keep track of this?

I don't think it's just the drivers -- my understanding is that FedEx Ground is outsourced on a city by city basis.
