Los Angeles, Charlotte and Oklahoma City are on the next list.
CEO Raj Subramaniam named these markets for work after peak. FedEx says its Network 2.0 rollout in Canada is complete. Dallas, San Francisco, Phoenix and Washington, D.C., were among the major US markets already addressed.
A busy station can still be consolidated. Customers keep sending packages while management changes where they are sorted and who delivers them. In the next three markets, follow the operating plan, route ownership and shift location.
Your packages can stay. Your route can move.
Network 2.0 combines historically separate pickup and delivery operations. FedEx’s annual report says employee couriers will handle some locations and service providers will handle others.
Couriers can face a different route or employer arrangement; station teams can see sort work move; supervisors can lose a separate operation to manage. A transfer can also bring different hours or a longer commute.
Follow the destination of the work.
| Employee group | Change to watch | What to pin down |
|---|---|---|
| Couriers and drivers | Routes are combined or reassigned | The operator, route boundaries, paid hours and employment terms. |
| Handlers and station teams | Sort volume moves to another location | The receiving shift, commute and actual position available. |
| Local supervisors and support staff | Two operations share one management structure | Which responsibilities and decision-making posts remain. |
Peak keeps you busy. The route map keeps changing.
A team needed through the holiday rush can face a different structure once peak finishes. Keep local notices and written transfer terms together. Check whether a move changes the employing company, the shift or benefits.
Los Angeles employees can monitor California EDD WARN notices. Qualifying layoffs, closures and relocations generally require 60 days’ notice, subject to coverage rules and exceptions. Contracted drivers should also check what a route change means for their own employer.
2027 is already inside the cost plan.
The call targets nearly US$1 billion in savings by the end of 2026 and US$2 billion cumulatively by the end of 2027. The annual report expects US Network 2.0 implementation to finish by the end of calendar 2027.
FedEx also repurchased US$2 billion of shares from June through September and raised its full-year 2026 earnings outlook. The improving outlook has not stopped network consolidation. At a station taking extra volume, check whether paid hours, equipment and shift capacity can handle it.
Compare the actual offer before choosing a move.
Price the proposed move before accepting it: travel, care arrangements and any change in paid hours can reduce what the job leaves you each week. Get the operator, location and start date in writing. Compare the full offer with local logistics roles.
Our September FedEx investigation documented specific closure notices and affected positions. This update follows the newly named markets and the timetable ahead. Our UPS reporting tracks a separate logistics restructuring.
