      This is just another bunch of BS made by FedEx because UPS is trying to get them classified as a truck and rail freight company rather than air freight. So that way, there will be a level playing field as far as wages are concerned. Don't fall for the slick video that Fedex is trying to pull. UPS is not asking for a bailout, they are asking for regulations to be changed so that FedEx won't be able to have a unfair advantage over UPS and other freight companies as well.

      I know this because I work for UPS! So I know the inside stuff.

        Your not one of those guys that helps the packages move down the chutes with hooks, are ya??

        Some of the UPS shipping stuff we get on the Cape gets absolutely mangled

        The drivers tell me NEVER put "Fragile" on ANYTHING because that'll cause the loaders to fuck with it more. From I've seen, I believe it too....

            No matter which country you're in UPS guarantees you a lousy service.

              I disagree. Over at my grandmother's house her (asshole) neighbors always let their dog run loose - constantly barking at kids and shitting on her yard. Then one day, while that mutt was running about unleashed a UPS driver pulled up and the dog went after him. Without a moment of hesitation the UPS driver maced that hound and kicked the dog. Now don't get wrong I'm a true animal lover but when people treat their pets like her neighbors do, all I can say my praise for UPS went up tremendously that day.

                  Yeah I'm one of those guys! As far as damage is concerned, it comes in four catagories: Packages actually getting caught in the conveyor, being smashed from the pressure of a packed chute because there to few employees being assigned to the North or South belts, bad packaging material on the shippers part (i.e. putting a multiple heavy items in a plain cardboard box without any insulation to keep it from moving all over the place.) and you have the few in which the shipper is purposely using bad packaging in order to collect insurance money. BTW they don't give us Fragile stamps because it is the responsiblity of the shipper to have the word Fragile either printed, stickered or stamped on the container.

                    FedEx:

                    "When it absolutely positively has to be lost for a week."

                    Those fuckers managed to lose a paycheck overnighted to me by my company as it spent several days somewhere in the Caribbean (Aruba I think)...

                    While, it wasn't a big deal, the problem I have is that they kept giving me blatant stock-lie answers such as "the plane was grounded due to weather problems." Then I'd check the weather from the city it was coming from (Either Nashville or Memphis, TN I think) and find that it was perfect...

                        I think we need a "Brownsound" bail out. Maybe some federal agency can abduct Edward, put a gun to his head, and force him back into the studio with the rest of the real Van Halen?

                          Can you expand on this a bit? Fedex is currently thought of as an "air freight" company as opposed to a "truck and rail freight" company? Since they have identical setups, how is this possible?

                              Apart from rip off tendencies like all couriers, I've had no real complaints with Fed.
