Nope, they do it themselves.? The ground service
was
created when they acquired RPS.
I believe this is true of their commercial ground delivery service,
but was told at one time that the FedEx Home Delivery drivers are
actually independent contractors.
Fedex does take on temporary help (as does UPS) during the heavy
Christmas/Festivus holiday season. It's wise to avoid shipping
during December if possible. We've had things "disappear" from Fedex
distribution centers.
