FedEx prepares for busiest day in history – KAIT-Jonesboro, AR-News, weather … – KAIT

Authorities say 30 Tennessee counties have received false bomb threats
to courthouses or other government buildings.

(WMC-TV) – FedEx is getting ready for what it predicts will be the
busiest day in company history next month.

The company expects to ship more than 19 million packages Monday,
December 10. That is 10 percent more than FedEx shipped on its busiest
day last year – and more than double the volume it handles on an
average day.

FedEx says it thinks online shopping and people mailing holiday
packages will bring more than $280 million shipments through the
company in the next month.

To handle all of that extra volume, FedEx had added 20,000 seasonal
positions to help make the deliveries.
