Peak season can make or break your entire year as a FedEx contractor. One successful peak might fund your operations for months, while a poorly managed one can drain profits faster than you thought possible.
FedEx's 2025 peak projections are already creating some confusion in the contractor community. Some reports suggest record-breaking volume increases, while others hint at more modest growth. Veteran contractors will tell you that inconsistency isn't just frustrating—it's financially dangerous.
Whether forecasts run too high or too low, inaccurate predictions drain contractor profits either way. Overstaff for volume that never materializes, and you're paying unnecessary wages. Understaff when packages surge, and you risk service failures that could jeopardize your contract.
