Are those companies pharmaceuticals shipping drugs? Again apple's to oranges.
No we are comparing Apples to Apples, outside of Dangerous Goods as regulated by the FAA/IATA and highvalue items as declared by shipper,
we make no assumptions of a packages contents, our business is to Pickup and Deliver packages, not to second guess every single package contents,
we cannot be asked to assume the roll of "investigator" Now if the DEA wants to subpena records for an individual company(as they have in the past)
FedEx would comply.
Believe me FedEx does plenty wrong in the eyes of the employees, and some not so honest dealings with Govt RLA, Ground contractor issues, etc... But when
it comes to this, the govt is barking up the wrong tree, they are looking for an easy way to curtail this "pharma" industry.
And Stops per hour, the govt isn't looking to stop overdosing, they are looking for a way to protect the pharmaceutical industry which is heavily lobbied in Washington.
Face it the pharmaceutical companies are pissed, someone is selling their $5(cost) pill for $10, when they usually charge $25
