The name FedEx came from a previous incarnation of the company, an air shipping company called Federal Express. That year it acquired Caliber Systems Inc., which included several ground and freight shipping companies. Regular FedEx Ground delivery has had a zone map with colored blocks for some time now and will continue to operate the same as before.įedEx incorporated as FDX in 1997.
