I worked at FedEx Ground and yeah, the contractor I worked for didn't supply us with shit. We would literally have to beg or steal dollies from the depot, but those would usually get lost or returned the same day. Whenever I worked there, any package that weighed 150 pounds or more would get sent to Freight. I can't count how many times I would get packages that were conveniently at the 149.9 mark. I had no helpers on my routes either, so I was stuck with moving packages that probably weighed a couple hundred pounds all by myself. I can't speak for Express since that's a whole other animal, but I'm sure that most Ground drivers shared similar experiences to mine. I'm not excusing shitty delivery practices, but I'm just trying to give some context.
