    Apparently Express Hires Unprofessional Drivers

    Heard this the other day from my boss. While driving by a business, he noticed an Express truck parked NOSE FIRST up to the front entrance of a business. Noooo .. seriously?? They do that?? He said he thought Express only hired Professional drivers and was shocked.

    So the other day I heard from a friend that his cousins sisters boyfriend knew a guy who knew for a fact that there was a ring of ground drivers who kidnap human babies from resi stops and sell them to the Russian black market where they are raised to work in secret third world sweat shops owned by Fred Smith. Just totally shocking!

    (get my point?)

    I heard from my cousin's sister's third year roommate from college's 4th grade PE teacher's dog's vet's guy that cuts the grass at the vet's Mom's neighbor's house's nephew that Uncle Fredward was an alien and Aunt Matty is really just a skin puppet. He would know, he sacked the groceries for his housekeeper for 6 months when they thought he was special needs, turned out to just be a case of mistaken identity. Wonder if it's true??!!

    Funny how quick you all throw out accusations of ground drivers but there's NO WAY this could EVER happen with an EXPRESS driver! Comical.

    Well no offense but Ground in it's short existence has accumalated a lot of highlights for news programs.The majority of the accusations are true,no one has any evidence to refute them. My question is how do you know that the driver was not instructed to park that way ? Maybe they did not have a loading dock ? But in the scheme of things what does professionalism have to do with parking nose first ? Or is this the plan that Fedex has now ? Pit Ground against Express ? Starting to look that way. Wall Street will not be pleased.

    Sure, we have them too (non-professionals). But, being unprofessional is par for the course over at Ground, while it's an exception to the rule at Express. Nose-in to dock, not honking when backing-up, and driving like a fool are all trademarks of the average Ground clown. Ooops, I forgot leaving the engine running while going into a high-rise building for a delivery.

    It could have been 10:29 and the driver was trying to make service. Still no excuse, should have taken the late.

    see my sig...

    but, Fred doesn't really care anyways; just getting the lowest operating cost to deliver these boxes. With the contractors, they'll have to find a balance of who will be dumb enough to take the low wage for the work & who is worth paying more for the excellent service that I've seen in a handful of drivers.

    sure, there are bad drivers out there, but that's all the public will see & comment on. Not the exceptional workers...
