How in the world of FedEx do you measure scale? Is it number of trucks deployed? Number of what did you have?

Kind of revenue per week? Packages delivered? What are the key metrics in this world?

yeah i would say those three like number of trucks number of routes that you're running maybe number of packages or stops that you do and then probably you know revenue at least on the pnd side pickup and delivery side of the business can you give us all those numbers in your case today july 2025 yeah well

i've got 240 trucks not all of them are active we're running about 152 of those today i mean you got to have plenty of of extra so it sounds like i have a lot of extra trucks and i do but they go down all the time so you have to you know take to the shop get another one out there just keep it going we're running 15 000 stops today and last week did 550 000 in revenue It's a big difference from…

$550,000 in revenue last week. And that revenue is your business's top line revenue?

And the way that works is FedEx corporate deposits that money in your account on a weekly basis.

Yeah, each Friday. It's like ACH deposits. Yeah. So we see the numbers on Tuesday night, like what will be deposited on Friday. And those weekly deposits are just the lifeline of everything.

If it wasn't weekly, this would be a very different operation. And if we weren't able to rely on that weekly deposit, it would be very different. So FedEx is very smart with paying every Friday and never missing a payment.

And that's one of the biggest benefits of doing this. You have no accounts receivable, no bad debt write-off, no collections, no marketing, no sales. It's just pure operations.

And so if you're a good operator, FedEx, I don't speak for them, but I'm pretty sure they're very hungry for good operators. So if you're dedicated and you can do a good job, you can be very successful with this. FedEx is such a big corporation.

Their little crumbs they leave behind are gold nuggets to individuals.
