It’s hard to imagine a time when package delivery was strictly done on foot and horseback. Pony Express, anyone? Nowadays, its practically instantaneous with a few clicks of a button. This just goes to show how technology and services have evolved and become faster and more convenient over the years. One of the pivotal events in the past that led us to where we are today happened in 1977, when air cargo deregulation was legislated and FedEx was able to establish an air-based system that made it possible to deliver small packages overnight throughout the country. Some 40 years later, more than 36 million packages are being delivered per day in the United States.
