    Unrelated: Why does it say FederalExpress Express on the truck? Is that like LCD display, but double fast, not double display?

      I think it’s because Federal Express the company has services which includes ground and express. Some trucks are marked FedEx ground so this is to mark that it’s the express service truck I guess.

        Furthermore, FedEx Express drivers are employed by FedEx. FedEx Ground drivers are all working for a bunch of contractors, similar to how Amazon runs their delivery service.

      It’s because the name of the company is just FedEx now. They don’t use “federal express” in anything that I’m aware of.

      FedEx Express is what used to be called Federal Express. It’s just one of the operating companies under the umbrella of “FedEx corporation.”
