13 FedEx Routes for Sale
This week we’re sharing a group of FedEx routes for sale in Texas. You can view the deal here: https://www.bizbuysell.com/Business-Opportunity/13-FedEx-PandD-Routes-Lufkin-TX/1889947/
We’ve been seeing a lot of FedEx delivery routes for sale recently. The way these businesses work is that you're contracted to FedEx to do their deliveries along a route. You provide the trucks and staff, FedEx provides the packages and demand.
It has some appealing aspects like the FedEx franchise network moat, recession-proof characteristics, and the tax opportunities that come from the depreciation of the fleet vehicles.
The risky (and scary) part is that you're tied to a single vendor. So, much like a McDonald's or Subway franchise, you're betting the franchisor (or in this case FedEx) doesn't screw things up for you.
In the end, the vast number of these routes for sale is interesting. What do these FedEx route holders know that you don't? My guess is they see the writing on the wall with Amazon and things like e-signing coming after their margin.
What do you think? Let us know on Twitter or send this email to a friend who would find this deal interesting too!
