[QUOTE="FedEx2000, post: 835094, member: 13621"] Close, it's actually any combination of 5 preventable accidents and/or occurrences and/or moving violation convictions obtained in a FDX vehicle in a 36 month period will result in removal from driving for remainder of FDX career......or combination of 6 of the same in a 60 month period. So, it's not in your entire career...but still very strict. Much of this is brought on by the enhancements to the FMSCA also....their rules have been getting stricter regarding the driving history of CDL licensed drivers especially, forcing some of these changes. There's not always a conspiracy theory behind everything to get rid of people, you guys need to lighten up and relax a bit. Bottom line is that accidents cost FDX a ton of money each year, yet couriers continue to talk/text/look at ppad while driving and backing into fixed objects that should have been seen when they drove up to the stop. Apparently the threat of a $2,500 fine by the FMCSA/DOT isn't enough of a deterrent b/c it still happens...so maybe this will get people's attention and make them realize that it isn't worth it and the text can wait until your next stop.And no, not everything is preventable.....I just ruled an accident this week as non-preventable. But we are held to a higher standard than a 16 year old that just got his license as we should be. [/QUOTE]
