    A FedEx tractor-trailer overturned Tuesday morning in middle Georgia, tossing packages across I-75 and causing major traffic jams.

    No injuries were reported in the 10:30 a.m. crash just north of Macon in Monroe County. But many packages, including valuables and Christmas presents, were scattered across the northbound lanes. Some debris also scattered onto the southbound side of I-75.

    Workers used a bulldozer-type vehicle to push piles of packages, grapefruits and presents from the roadway,#The Macon Telegraph reported.


    Lewis May, who works as a wrecker for Buice’s Garage in Forsyth, collected scattered Redbox DVDs in a broken cardboard box, the newspaper reported. May said the truck was carrying a lot of valuable cargo.

    “The most valuable thing I’ve probably seen is a lot of laptops,” May said.

    They push the drivers unbelievably hard at times. Their schedules are absolutely critical, and cannot be changed to accommodate such minor issues as traffic, weather, driver fatigue, or anything else. If you can make a run in 10.5 hours in July on a clear night with zero traffic, you had best be ready to make that same run in December, possibly on ice in a complete whiteout, in the same 10.5 hours. There are no excuses their dispatch will accept for a driver being late.

    Tis the season for more Fed ex wrecks than usual. It's the same thing every year. I think you forget how to drive once you go there.
