    I don't know how they did it, but it's right there, along with a handy tip on how to hook up the air hoses, (I still use the poem "red on red and I'll be oked, red on blue and I won't moo ve" )

    Believe it or not, I've been noticing a lot of safe FedEx driver's. yes there's a few speed racers here and there. Speed racers on not exclusive to FedEx. I've done FedEx loads, cant be minute late and they're rarely on time gettin out the door. if yah stop due to call from mother nature there's a good chance of being late, I don't understand why they plan loads like that then expect what they do

    Well that answers that. I've always wondered if the drivers were natural born aholes or if Fed Ex made them that way.

    in the hand, driver's keep on doing it, perhaps they thought what I have, ' maybe this time will be different, that load will ready' or they've become numb

    And I 40 between Little Rock and West Memphis.... 70 mph is WWWAAAYYYY too fast for trucks . way too fast.
    And in the construction zones they only lower the speed to 60 where they're replacing the bridges.
    That's a sharp turn to make at 60 with a jersey wall right there, they need to ease the turns or lower it to 50 mph and enforce it.
