FedEx's busiest day: Being Santa's helper

NEW YORK - Call it the pregame show for Santa and his elves. Monday was expected to be the busiest day in FedEx history, with nearly 16 million packages moving on its conveyer belts, trucks and planes. That would be up 13 percent from 14.2 million on the busiest day last year, and double what the company handles on a normal day.

It's sort, sort, sort for workers at the FedEx center in Newark, N.J. The shipper expected to move nearly 16 million packages on its busiest day, up about 13 percent from last year.
