If Fedex wasn't so picky about what they picked up they would truly choke on the freight. When I ran a city route we picked up a lot of stuff from these two auto-junk-part places. One place might have one or two but the other one would have like half a trailer or more every day. Granted it was crap no one wanted to haul like car doors (with Glass intact), motors, transmissions and my favorite was the half a car that they would ship that you couldn't put it on decking even though it didn't weigh very much because there wasn't any really good way to pick it up. We had a chance to land a multi-million dollar account back during the summer. The sales guy worked on the pricing for I know over 3 months. They made trips up there and every thing seemed ready to go and then bam, nothing. No freight, no explanation or anything. I think what it boiled down to was a city driver was going to have be there all day moving Fedex trailers and other trailers there on their yard. They didn't want the city guy just hanging out all day with out any supervision and having the libiltiy of moving other equipment as well. ABF had the account and they knew going into it the situation about the driver. If they weren't going to take it serious about the new business why have the sales guy wrack his brain all that time. Its like the left hand doesn't know what the right one is doing and they don't give a rats backside if it works or it don't.
