[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 665006, member: 12508"] The FedEx standard is higher than the state's...at least where I live. The explosion of red light and speed cameras has made this a really big deal because more tickets are being "written" as states and municipalities try to generate cash. These type of tickets are usually classified as non-moving violations by the courts because they aren't written by a cop, but FedEx chooses to nail the driver with a moving violation. What a great way to cull the herd. Express usually ignores state laws until someone sues them and forces compliance. The California settlement over breaks a few years back is a good example. It's the same with Ground. FedEx recognizes laws that benefit the corporation and ignores those that cost it money. As I've said before, this is eventually going to be very costly, especially regarding Ground because states have a real need for funds right now, and law-breaking companies (like FedEx) are very juicy targets. The rumor is that more lawsuits over breaks (not taking them) are in the works. California usually leads the way and then the rest of the states follow. By the way, I have seen a lot of Ground vehicles for sale recently...at fire sale prices. How come? And these aren't just the old P1000's, but much newer stuff. If Ground is so great, why are people getting out? [/QUOTE]
