FedEx Freight | DULUTH, GA Fedex Freight Rolls over on Highway 120 and Sugarloaf Parkway

Does UPS roll over as much as we seem to? They must cover it up, or clean it up quick before the press gets wind of it...Or being asphalt gray, they must not be seen as well.
 
Actually I commend you on making such an astute observation! Clearly there must be something majorly different that fedex does different than ups in this respect. Weird if you really think about it

UPS parcel pays their drivers by the hour not the mile and monitors driver's speed.

I too have often wondered about this. But i think it has much to do with the design and type of freight parcel pulls. Look how low their converters are to the ground, thus making them way more stable than the a frames most other ltls are using. Plus most of the sets they pull are usually light i assuming.
And when is the last time youve seen a parcel driver speeding. They pass you on the hills then do under the speed limit the rest of the way.

I get passed by UPS sets 10 times a night.
 
The FACT is, they are Union... If you've ever noticed, you won't see anything reported on Union company's accidents. How often have you seen UPS or YRC making the news?Call me a conspiracy theorist if you must, but the liberal media will not show such things, and is due to their loyalty to the Communist cause. We had a city driver hit a concrete wall downtown, and you would have thought a car load of nuns got killed. In July a Conway driver was involved in a wreck killing 3 teenagers. THEY pulled out in front of him. Yet all you saw in the paper and on the news was CONWAY FREIGHT. UPS Freight rolled a set a couple years ago during rush hour traffic. Nothing reported. A few months ago, YRC hit a parked vehicle on the NY Thruway, closing it, Nothing in the news.I always go back to the famous video of the FedEx Freight truck in Kentucky that made the national news, when he hit the cop. (Who parked his car in the left lane on the other side of a knoll). They played that over and over.

He is absolutely correct. The media beat that ky accident to death, and you dont see negative stuff about ups at all or yrc!!!!
 
The media is filled with communists and anarchists, that actively try to destroy the moral fiber of our country. A union in itself is a form of communism. The idea that everyone is equal, and deserves equal pay, whether they deserve it or not is communistic. Communists in America played a vital role in the rise of unions 1920-1940's. Today, Communist Party USA (CPUSA) actively campaigns for, honors and awards union leadership. AFL-CIO Leader Accepts Communist Party Award: ‘I Stand With Them’ | TheBlaze.com. I'm not suggesting that all union members are communists, but there is correlation between the ideology of communism and union organization. My father, also worked for Gannett News for 37 years. They were pretty much forbidden to report negatively about a union company. Much of the news industry are represented by unions as well, and they are not going to attack those with the same goals.

RC pretty much agrees with everything he said except the Communist part.

TheBlaze, never heard of it. Web search says it is owned by Glen Beck and available in, wow, a whole 19 states.
RC bets it's just the most impartial opinions one would ever hear.
About as fair and balanced as Fox.

UPS Freight is also less than have the size of Fedex Freight, figures they would roughly have half the accidents. Just sayin'
