    One heck of a hit. Had two fed ex doubles in front of me, side by side in Wisconsin on sat. It took 7 miles for one to pass the other. Once he got in front, you guessed it. He took the the exit. I could not believe it! I just gunned it once I could eventually get by

    The front of the truck was tore up pretty good but he was sitting straight when I went past. His rear box looked funny though, like it was sitting low in the front. Maybe he had a separation and it yanked him into the wall? I couldn't tell for sure and wasn't going to rubberneck.

    Does FedEx hook their own sets? I can see that leading to problems if a driver tends to blow off pre-tripping a set Joe the Yard Guy threw together as fast ad he could.

    First time I've heard of a FedEx accident putting a 1 foot hole in concrete/asphalt. Ohio it seems,is the FedEx truck accident capital.

    That cab is a Ryder. Was a Ryder pulling FEG doubles or did it just look that way?

    Might have been a driver using Ryder's equipment (lease/purchase)pulling those doubles under contract.
