What a mess....I will say one thing, FedEx Ground's actual ground shipping network is in shambles. They have an owner operator based transportation network that doesn't have enough trucks to keep up with their growth. It's likely that there has been a backlog on getting trailers over the pass from their Sacramento sort facility. Also, getting it from Georgia means it probably stopped at 10 other facilities already.

If they were smaret, they'd use the Union Pacific Railroad like UPS does. YES, all your UPS ground shipments from back east come via train. It seems to work the best.
