[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1214828, member: 12508"] This is a good time to mention FedEx Accident Policy. You're right that you cannot control the weather, but you [B]can [/B]choose whether or not you choose to hit the road if conditions are bad enough. You can be a hero, and go out and deliver in a blizzard, but if you end-up in the ditch like a Ground driver, you'll be charged with a preventable accident. Sometimes, conditions are so bad, that no matter what, you'll end-up with a big problem. Most of us don't have a 4X4 like Sniper, and even a chained W-series is a handful in the snow because they are so stiffly sprung. In many cases, even chains are useless. On ice, it doesn't matter what you have unless studded tires are available. You can tell Fred to shove it 2 ways on a snowy day. First, you can just call in sick ("When it's slick, I'm sick"), which is [B]recommended.[/B] Your second choice is to dig out Safety Policy, which allows you to say " Nope, it's just too unsafe out there", and not go on the road. Management will never let you know this clause exists, but it does so they can say " YOUR FAULT", because you decided to go out and work in unsafe conditions. Don't be a hero. I know lots of people who have gotten preventables for very minor things like getting stuck in a ditch. [/QUOTE]
