[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 599802, member: 12508"] One morning we had all left the building and were headed out to our routes when 3 of us got the word we had packages that had just been found for us at the station. "Bobby" was just leaving, so we radioed (pre-DADS) him that we'd lag behind and he could catch us. There was a freeway on-ramp that was always clogged and slow so we figured he'd catch up before we could get on. That particular morning, the ramp was wide open and a cop was there so we couldn't pull over on the shoulder and wait. All 3 of us had to get on the freeway or get a ticket. By then, "Bobby" had caught-up and "Glen" suggested we try a moving handoff on the freeway. Everyone agreed, and we pulled-up evenly across 4 lanes of freeway and proceeded to hand-off the pkgs through the open windows by leaning across and tossing them into the next van over. 5 motorists called-in to Federal Express and 3 called the police. When we returned to the station that night all 3 station managers were waiting for us and proceeded to ream us out...and rightfully so. No letters, and we all went out for beers. This would never happen today... .we'd all be fired. [/QUOTE]
