What was FedEx's excuse for not taking a report?

Having been a truck driver for years, unless you've been hit by them or are an important customer, they don't care. I tried to call FedMess on a weekend to tell them of a safety issue on one of their trailers(sorta long story). When I got ahold of someone Monday, the reaction was "thanks, we'll look into it". Yeah. Right.

There was no tracking number. I said you have gps in all the trucks and know exactly which truck and driver it was. He said then call the police.

Grrr. I don't suppose you got his name?

 

[MCF]

they requested this for tomorrow….,..total “Satisfaction “ kinda feel…

Oh Yeah! Love it. A great Neil classic. Who’s playing the guitar?

You could try this version too.

Yup. I got the same b.s. from a*mazon when one of them backed into my van-in my driveway-after leaving a package across the street. I even had that tracking number to give them. They said since there was no video, they wouldn't do anything for me. I'll never order from a*mazon and I'll do what I can to discourage others from using them.

OK, FedMess is now on my personal hit list. My daughter and grandsons were out for a walk and a FedMess driver starting screaming at them for being out in 90 degree weather. FedMess refuses to even take a report, so called the police to file assault charges. If I see that guy, someone come bail me out.

I bet 90 feels like a pleasant Spring day compared to what they’re used to.

Here's another 'inside' tip: if you call asking the status of your package, they'll put you on hold for a short time then tell you "it's on the truck". They don't specify which truck-it could be the one going to Oshkosh. Which is great if you live in Oshkosh.

I avoid buying from Amazon as much as possible for several reason. This got added to the list.

Yeah. I use a Mac and run linux servers. Nothing I do depends on Windows.

@dagrev In answer to your comment to Jeff, totally different systems. I'm federal.

Actually worked out ok at court today.
Thought It’d be a real mess, but all went smoothly.

Another heat wave beginning. Headed to the mountains tonight. But it should only get to about 110 down here over the weekend.

We had a couple of summers like that recently, but this year has only gotten into the 90s here, AFAIK. Next week will be a bit cooler and wetter - but Seattle will be cooler and dryer.

Going to be between 110-113 here the next several days. Glad I don't work outdoors and feel bad for anyone that does.

I’ve been doing my laps in the mornings. Yesterday was the first day the water was below 90 in about three weeks. Right now it’s 93. No fun.

I wasn’t there or I would’ve gotten his blood type.

Someone on the Facebook group posted a Tbird bass pickup routing template file they created for their project. Might be usefull to someone here.

I meant the guy on the phone.

No, good idea but too po’d to think straight.

Incompetents and lunatics have to work some place.

This will be of no comfort to you, but I can almost guarantee they laughed about it after he got offa the phone.
