    Wouldn't it be nice to be able to hear about traffic conditions an hour before you get to those conditions?

    You on Facebook also? Anyone else who’s using every iota of your personal data (against you). And that includes doing the same to all on your contacts list.

    If GM was so good why don’t I hear the report across the radio?
     
    rabbiporkchop and JReding Thank this.

    How long does it take from the time FedEx rolls over and blocks all Lanes of traffic before Google Maps notifies you? In that amount of time you might have missed your exit. However if you hear someone on the radio way out the distance saying oh my God that truck just flipped over it gives you an opportunity to jump off at the next exit.

    Wow, that’s an oldie.... they don’t call them old handheld radios, bricks for nothing. That reminds me, I was given an old Pace 6 channel (I think) handheld radio. I should get that antique out and see if it even works.

    So, FedEx and UPS pretty much do the same thing, anyone know why FedEx is always rolling over and UPS isn't?

    FedEx is exclusive contractor


    Ups is exclusive union


    Union workers don't care, they take their time ... er ... most of them that is.

    To be more specific, FedEx Ground is contractor. FedEx Express and FedEx Freight are company drivers.
