"Fedex Ground is the old RPS (Roadway). They are terrible. If you only want to pay for ground, use UPS. Fedex Saver is the best overall deal out there."

glc is right;
I there is a BIG difference between FedEX Air and FedEx ground. FedEx ground drivers are NOT employees of FedEx. I know such a fellow. They are all independent contractors, own and maintain their own trucks, no benefits whatsoever. Many are the old RPS drivers. FedEx Air is excellent, FedEx ground can be hit and miss.
