I know FedEx is a woke champion of racial justice since they demanded the Redskins change their name and they painted Denny Hamlin’s car black for a race or two. Consequently, I’m sure they have a good reason for continuing not to service predominantly black neighborhoods in Chicago weeks after the civil unrest without notice to the customers. Maybe Fat Freddy can send a nice 4x6 of Denny Hamlin‘s car to anyone questioning the company’s practices.
That decision wasn’t made by FedEx Ground. It was made by independent contractors that were having their trucks hijacked even with police escorts.

No customer is going to know that or understand what it means. Their understanding is “I ordered something and FedEx didn’t bring it.”
Your rant blamed FedEx. They weren’t making the decision. FedEx spokespeople aren’t going to respond to the news saying trucks are getting stolen because they don’t want to encourage that behavior or put it in criminal’s heads. Would you send drivers into an area where they are likely to be hijacked at gunpoint?
All customers are going to know is that they bought something online and FedEx didn’t deliver it.
Got it, you don’t care about reality, you just want to cry, “FedEx bad!” Carry on.
It’s not what I care about, it’s what the customers care about, no? I’m sure an entrepreneur like yourself understands that. Customers can’t even tell the difference between Ground and Express. They’re not going to know nor care about the contractor model and who passed the buck to whom. All they’re going to understand is that they bought something and FedEx didn’t deliver it. You’re a smart guy; I really feel like you should be understanding what I’m saying.
I call BS...
If you had actual responsibility over drivers would you send them into an area where they are likely to be hijacked at gunpoint? Would you risk your employees or your equipment?
If I had a police escort I would...but we know that doesn’t happen.
It’s commonplace in Chicago and other high crime areas.
Of course he wouldn’t , but since it’s Fedex it’s wrong.
Nope. The contract for that area of my city has been available many times for free and I’ve never even bid for it.
Correct. Just as soon as UPS delivers it.
