Fedex must be broke?

Just saw a Fedex truck alongside me with bald front and rear tires!
Can't imagine they are hurting that bad or is it just corporate greed that puts the driver on our roads with bald tires?

Really? Didn't know Fedex had owner operators, regardless vehicles should be required to maintain safety

On the line haul side Fed Ex uses owner operators but not delivery trucks. If he is indeed running on bald tires the DOT will take care of him soon.

Hope they make it to the house tomorrow.

Yep. My FedEx guy drives a Budget Rent-A-Truck. He works on contract. So does my mail carrier.

Fedex Ground or Express? I'm betting Ground since they are all private contractors as opposed to corporate.

In my neck of the woods with tires like that he will spend more time digging out of snowbanks than delivering packages.............

I'd call it greed.

Im sure he will soon be buying some cheap retreads that will blow apart on the freeway causing massive litter and traffic hazards.

In my neck of the woods, at least 75% (my own estimate) of the debris on the freeway is truck tires.

They refuse to take my "dangeous items" and refuse to let employees even have guns in their cars in Tenn.!
