[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 898587, member: 12508"] Ground tractor-trailers crash and burn almost regularly, which probably should be a sign for the DOT to have a look. If you do a bit of research, the vast majority of serious accidents involve Ground semis, although the numbers are growing rapidly for the other FedEx Opcos. FedEx Freight had a very bad wreck in San Diego last week as well. My real concern lies with the PUD people, where you have employees running like rabbits to make "goal", which is more important to FedEx than being safe. Productivity is critical, but you can only squeeze so much juice from an orange, and then there is none left. FedEx is trying to gain productivity by breaking the safety envelope, and there is no question that it is happening. Pretending that the corporation is being "safe" isn't going to work, especially when most of us will readily acknowledge that preaching safety is much different from actually practicing it. [/QUOTE]
