    Man just imagine if that was a school bus full of kids or something. I try not to single out FedEx because I know there are bad drivers driving for every company out there, but man, so many of these guys are just downright reckless.

    At 6:15 a.m. I'm sure this driver was no different than the majority of LTL carrier's who's drivers work the dock all night long... Peddle to the floor, half asleep trying to get back home...

    Fed Ex has their trucks set up to run 64mph, the drivers can't slow down for traffic, construction or in cities. It is 64 everywhere.

    Me, I'm governed at 62, but luckily, I have the ability to slow down when needed.

    I feel sorry for the poor Fedexers, that don't have the ability to slow down in a narrow construction zone and then come up on an oversized truck that did slow down.

    How ironic is it to see a UPS truck in the lower right corner involving a FedEx wreck

    Ya I noticed that also... Looks like UPS was in the Hammer lane more than likely getting ready to pass...
