'''FedEx Ground Package System, Inc.''',<ref>{{Cite web |date=1984-01-27 |title=FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. |url=https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_de/2026882 |access-date=2025-03-09 |website=[[OpenCorporates]]}}</ref> also known simply as '''FedEx Ground''', is an American [[Cargo#Road|ground]] [[package delivery]] company headquartered in [[Moon Township, Pennsylvania]], a suburb of [[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania|Pittsburgh]]. It is a [[subsidiary]] of the [[FedEx|FedEx Corporation]]. The company began as '''Roadway Package System''' ('''RPS'''), founded in 1985 by transportation company [[Caliber System|Roadway Services Inc.]], later renamed Caliber System. FedEx bought Caliber in 1998 to complement its existing [[FedEx Express]] business and rebranded Caliber's RPS package delivery service FedEx Ground in 2000.

FedEx Ground provides US and Canada domestic services as well as international services between the two, branded FedEx International Ground. Its services are cheaper than the time-definite services offered by FedEx Express and its drivers are primarily [[owner/operator]]s, [[independent contractors]] who control individual delivery routes and territories. In addition to its core commercial package services, the company's services include FedEx Home Delivery, a US residential delivery service, and FedEx Ground Economy (formerly FedEx SmartPost), a low-cost parcel consolidation service.
