Weather impacts Tuesday overnight shipments at CID for FedEx

Spring is arriving here in Cedar Rapids (airport - CID) and with all the snow melt during the day; fog has arrived in the evening hours. We received the following e-mail from our Account Executive with FedEx this morning ...

To all:

Our planes did not leave Cedar rapids, Iowa last night due
to fog. Therefore ALL Priority (10:30am) and Standard (3PM) next day air pkgs
will not make service.

The freight did move, just on a truck. I
apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Mother nature has decided
to melt the snow rapidly! Which I am happy about, but unfortunately, this has
caused some pretty dense fog.

Thank You for understanding.

Account Executive
FedEx Services

We want to thank our customers for their understanding and cooperation. We hope today is a good window cleaning day for you and yours!

Due to the Weather in Cedar Rapids and Memphis overnight: Here is a note from FedEx

Our Rep with FedEx sent us an update on Freight services through FedEx, due to weather in Cedar Rapids and expected weather in Memphis ...

To ALL:

Obviously with the snow last night, we ended up
getting out of Cedar Rapids a little late. Also, I left Memphis last night and
they were in PANIC mode about getting 2-4 inches of snow. Therefore, your
freight out of Memphis will be late as well.

In summary: Expect delays on ALL overnight service pkgs that left Cedar Rapids last night. This also includes Waterloo and north as everything feeds into Cedar
Rapids.
