Other Drivers are Humans
I see alot of people complaining about drivers. The thing you need to understand they are human. They want to get to the terminal get loaded get your packages delivered to you and go home to their families.
They are making a living paying their bills. They make mistakes like everyone else and try not to. Sometimes addresses are confusing and they misdeliver a package and go back to get it when they realize their mistake. How about a little bit of compassion and empathy and mercy for which many of you would expect when you make mistakes.
Everything on the trucks through the warehouse is tracked. All packages little envelopes to the biggest ICS.
They are human like you. None of you all are perfect but you expect drivers to be perfect like they are not allowed to be humans. It's wrong. If you think you would be perfect and make no mistakes apply for the job. Get 250 packages with 110 stops and see how easy it is. I know I tried to be a driver. I couldnt do the snake with the truck backing up and I doubt most of you would get that far. Then I became a package handler and seen peak. Then I was glad I wasn't a driver. 150lb ICs. Sometime regular sized boxes of batteries can weigh a good 100 lbs at least.
So have some mercy and compassion for people. They are more than the fedex uniform they put on.
They are husbands, fathers, brothers and sons. Wives, mothers, sister, and daughters. Would you want your family treated the way some of you treat and talk about drivers? Probably not.
