As a FedEx Service Provider, you're no stranger to hard work. You and your team deliver exceptional service for FedEx customers day in and day out, often outperforming regional carriers and fly-by-night "same-day" providers. So why do so many contractors operate on dangerously thin margins?
The transition to Network 2.0 has introduced new operational complexities. The integration of time-definite Express services into the Ground network can affect settlement charges, and some of these adjustments may feel inadequate for the work required. This, combined with existing operational inefficiencies, creates a challenging environment where your profits don't match your efforts.
But what if you could change that? Some Service Providers are not just surviving these changes—they are thriving. By engineering their operations for success, they are achieving exceptional margins and building significant wealth. It’s not about luck; it’s about having the right systems and processes in place.

Below we will explore the top reasons FedEx denies renegotiation requests, provide actionable steps to overcome these hurdles, and equip CSPs with the tools needed to successfully request a contract renegotiation.
