[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1285714, member: 12508"] A little-known aspect of policy is your ability to refuse to go on the road if you consider conditions "too dangerous". This way, you cannot sue FedEx when you choose to go out there and try to be a "hero". Here's what I mean: Let's say you're Dano, and even if there's a blizzard you're determined to deliver the Purple Promise. So, out you go, and you promptly slide into a ditch because some Bozo cut you off. That's a Preventable, because you "should have anticipated the hazard" (snow and ice). You proceed to go out and slide on the ice and hit a mailbox, which is Preventable #2. Meanwhile, Mr. Smart Courier has told his manager "conditions are unsafe, and if you force me to go out and deliver in these conditions, you (the manager) are requiring me to perform an unsafe act". If you voluntarily go out on the road, you have absolved them of responsibility. Put the onus back on them, and if they force you to go on the road (they won't), ask them to sign a statement saying you didn't want to deliver but were told you had to. Play the game according to their own stupid policies. Don't be hero and don't be stupid. [/QUOTE]
