Default Fed Ex Weather Diversions

I would not want to HAVE to work for any of the delivery services in
any capacity - pilot, driver, loader, etc. - Indentured servitude
reinvented..
I have all three major services deliver packages to us almost daily...
The drivers, while pleasant, are twitchy, driven people operating under
enormous time pressures... My job is demanding of my time, attention,
and energy but not in the same magnitude of theirs where every rotation
of the wheels, every time the door opens, every time the engine starts.
is recorded, measured, evaluated, and held against them...
As an old warrior on the automobile assembly lines, when I look at the
truck delivery services I am reminded of that old saying of Walter
Reuther - The world's largest, glorified, goldplated, sweatshop...
