A lot of inaccuracies. Not all boxes go through Memphis. Oakland, Fort Worth, Indianapolis, Newark, and Greensboro NC are all regional hubs so not all packagesgo through Memphis. Also Amazon was less than 1% of the profit when FedEx profit margins are around 7%. FedEx is a global company so while US economy is doing great, the global economy, especially the Chinese economy isnt doing so well. FedEx ships 40% of packages in China and that is where FedEx is struggling until the trade deal is worked out.
