    Like normal FedEx was probably running way too fast for conditions. They have a very bad habit of doing that.

    Sure looked like it to me, too. Even after the collision, he slid what looks to me to be over 100 yards. It's simply astounding that the folks on the ground had all the time they had before the collision.

    I had an experience with a FedEx ground truck not that long ago. I'm in NM headed north on I 25. We've got a good snow storm blowing thru and I'm running plenty fast enough myself. The snow was still dry enough it hadn't started to stick to the road but just made a real nice blizzard for those that were behind you.

    Any way mr in a big hurry FedEx passed me doing probably close to 80 and was very shortly out of sight. I shouldn't be shocked because thats the sort of thing I see fairly often.

    I couldnt agree more. I know it isnt all Fed_Ex drivers that drive like that but certainly enough to make you watch them close when they approach you.

    Outstanding job by that officer to get everyone out of his path!!!

    just HOW MANY times have you been passed by Swift?
