In a recent article “FedEx Keeps Delivering” dated April, 16 2002,
BusinessWeek Online discusses FedEx Ground.

A short excerpt from the article: 

“After pouring more than $800 million into FedEx Ground for new
shipping hubs, sorting technology, and package-tracking systems, the
investment is paying off. In the most recent quarter, FedEx Ground
took in revenues of $668 million, up 26% from last year's $529
million. Operating income was $69 million, a 283% increase. That
helped offset a downturn in FedEx's larger overnight-express business,
which recorded operating income of $145 million, down 9% from 2001, on
flat sales of $3.78 billion.(..)FedEx Ground, which delivers an
average of 1.7 million packages every day, isn't close to the size or
efficiency of UPS, with its more than 13 million daily deliveries.”
