MEMPHIS -- FedEx is experiencing its busiest period of operation ever.

The Memphis-based carrier estimates moving twice its normal daily volume this week. They estimated moving around 17-million shipments yesterday, which they refer to as their busiest day.

The company added 20-thousand seasonal positions at FedEx Ground, FedEx Home Delivery and FedEx SmartPost.

FedEx says its "busiest day" volumes have jumped 75-percent since Christmas 2005.
