    Didn't personally witness it but it was on the news today and the pictures were impressive. I-287 near Mahwah, NJ.

    Have personally seen FXG in the ditch twice in the past couple of weeks out on 80 in Pennsylvania during inclement weather. Starting to wonder if there's an issue with those guys. Almost becoming a joke whenever I see a set wadded up in the ditch. Ground strikes again!

    I stay away from FedEx Ground as they never seem to be in control.

    .32 cpm for pups ...uhm what kinda driver do you think they can get? JB pays more for beer on drop and hook.

    My fav was when one of them took a set of pups up a closed approach to a bridge...( bridge was out ) and he was whining on the communicator at 2 am to his buddy parked on the shoulder below. He wanted to know how in the F*^% he was going to get down.....

    No kidding......

    I'm thinking I would have got my arse out of the mule and started breaking them down...while it was dark....quietly.....and hoped nobody saw me......

    All the Fed-Ex ground trailers I see going 80mph are generally being pulled by a Volvo out of the Chicago Land area... Enough said

    The fastest I ever saw a Fedex go was about 67 mph. I thought maybe Fedex had a policy that the trucks ( including contractors) had to have a governed top speed of 67 mph.
