[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 897166, member: 12508"] Your point? My point is that these people were just going about their business, and suffered tragic consequences, hence their "innocence". What is more innocent than a child in the back seat of a car? FedEx pushes it drivers to the limit, and sometimes well beyond. It's at the "well beyond" stage that bad things start to happen. Increasingly, thre is a pattern of Express couriers blowing through intersections, red lights, and stop signs. Maybe they were sneaking a peak at the PowerPad, or trying to beat the light. Or maybe they just were distracted by problems at home. I don't know, because these are things that don't appear on police reports. What I [I]do[/I] know, is that our accident rate is way up since FedEx started pushing for even more productivity. This equals drivers working through lunch when they should not be, speeding to try and make SPH goals, and, in general, cutting corners on safety. This has been acknowledged in company videos, but only to the extent that the talking heads say "we need to get our accident rate down", and not much else. I don't know if you drive a truck or a desk, so maybe you don't know the difference. [/QUOTE]
