    FedEx is going to have some serious PR issues here soon.

    Just completely coincidental that FEDEX is involved in all 3...
     
    dog-c Thanks this.
  4. We all know FedEx reputation, it won't make it to the media outlets, just like any damaging news for a political figure.....

    Instead we are all going to be punished (drivers) for this crap, you have people talking on message boards that they are scared to even be on the road with big rigs, and the scary thing is im starting to agree with them. We are all going to get slapped in the face soon..


    The other thing that makes me sick is that driver stopped to help another driver and got the ultimate middle finger for doing so. No wonder no one stops and helps anymore it just makes me sick. :(

    Sorry, /rant off

    Just like you never hear anything about that FedEx that hit that Tour Bus on I-5 in Northern California that killed 10 students last year.
    The media in this country has turned into a joke. A lot of multiple fatality accidents never make it into the headlines or are quickly
    forgotten. The media outlets are privately owned corporations in business to make a profit. Keeping the public informed of the truth
    is not a high priority. Making money and manipulating public opinion is what they do. It always has been that way, it always will be.

    Just hoping a Fed Ex employee, (the word driver won't work here) can chime in and explain the rash of MAJOR, accidents they've had the last year or so, where so much death and destruction has occurred at their hands. Just sayin.

    while I agree with what you mostly stated n here the only problem I have is the amount of hours of training here saying they need generally what they do now I say double at minimum those hours of training

    I would say about FedEx if you order something online outlet and ask them to send it by another carrier that you don't want it on FedEx because there's a high probability it won't make it to the destination instead of rather end up in a ditch

    Isn't Amazon suppose to come out with a Drone delivery service? Wait, it might be handled by Fed Ex, great, not only do I need to be vigilant while sharing the road with them, now I need to worry about Drones crashing into my house.

    I still say it has a lot to do with the electronic devices, smart phones, GPS, laptops in patrol cars, Qualcomm etc. The mindset that use to be there with everyone on the road 25 years ago is gone. People minds were trained to focus a lot more back then while driving. Now days in bad weather if they have to slow down a bit they get bored with there short attention span and glimpse at there phone or whatever. I believe its only get worse. If I had to choose id rather share a road with a drunk than one of these preoccupied idiots.
