Well I don't really know what they were to FedEx, but to me and others in our little linehaul clan they were Donald and Stewart.

Because 59 Dans kept begging you for the accident numbers, it made me curious so I looked it up. Had it not been for Dano I wouldn't of had too much of an interest. But it looks like, in the past 24 months, Ground has had 367 injured drivers due to crashes and 30 fatalities. If those numbers are true, thats 15 of our peers dying every year. Thats just a fraction over one of our peers dying a month. Does anyone know what kind of policies would be implemented if 15 pilots where dying on the job every year? I always say, don't run over someones kid for a box. Be Safe.

basically 3:1 ratio of Ground:Express in both fatalaties & injuries

interesting that UPS's scores are almost par w/ FedEx's fatalities... except they got more combined injuries

Basically what I said before. Dano's job is to do anything possible to make it look like FedEx isn't cutting corners on safety. It's all about reducing exposure and liability.

Yes, we do. I'm wondering were Sammy and Dano are with all of the "facts" that tell us Ground is safe?

Especially if it makes you look bad, eh?

If you're a professional driver, drive like one.
exactly. And the ATA and GAO take issue with the methodology employed by the FMCSA in determining professionalism.

Thank you O n , and no Stewart is hanging in there, he is still in the hospital, but is looking and doing a lot better than a couple days ago, he his pretty banged up though and has a long way to go in his recovery, he is talking and responsive and knows what happened so no brain damage and he can move all his limbs, he just has a lot of healing to do.
