[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 801183, member: 4653"] Ya know, Fed-Ex ground is a 2nd class organization and I say this half kidding because I understand they are a real threat to UPS jobs. However, their behavior on the road speaks volumes on the class of its people. An incident yesterday epitomized their ignorance and confirmed to me that they just don't get "it". It was snowing 5-7 inches here yesterday so I left my house at 545 for an 835 start (usually leave at 740). It was nasty out. Very slippery, blinding snowfall. If you were coming down a hill and someone decided to cut you off, you would slide right into him. Also, there was poor visabilty from the prior storms snowbanks. You literally have to pull 1/4 of the way out in the street just to see if its clear. So anyway, I'm driving about 25 on a normally 40 MPH road and I'm thanking God that the person behind me is doing the same and staying back at least 1/8 of a mile. I think he is the only other sensible driver on the road. Well, behind him is a Fed-Ex ground truck that is riding his tail big-time. We are on a state, two-lane, double yellow line, residential highway and I can see the Fed-Ex truck trying to pass the car behind me but he can't do it because of oncoming traffic. All three of us eventually come to a light and we go after it turns green and the Fed-Ex driver illegally passes me and the driver behind me. I can say a ton about this but I'll try to be brief. What a Farging A Hole. I mean that unproffesional behavior is totally off the scale that it screams an arrest and not just a ticket. Wreckless driving and public endangerment would be my charge! What are they teaching their drivers? Certainly not defensive driving skills! They always nose-in to parking spots and have the bulk door open 100% of the time. They idle the truck with the vehicle unsecured while they make deliveries inside buildings. I mean, how can they compete with UPS with all these safety violations? And one last comment: What the hell was this guys rush? It was 615 in the AM and he has no time commit packages, right? Sorry, I just couldn't believe it. [/QUOTE]
