Re: Way OT - Fedex Ground

This, if true--and I have no reason to believe it's not--it blows my mind. No wonder we have stupid people electing stupid leaders. Maybe we need to go back to some sort of literacy test to vote.
I don't mean the old southern bullshit of asking blacks if they can read a Chinese newspaper, but the real stuff--can a cracker read anything except the chewing tobacco advertisements on his favorite NASCAR entry.

Just saw G. Weasel Bush on the tube. He seemed to be sweating.

So true, Sue. I too have neighbors, friends, and relatives who drive
trucks and are responsible and helpful. I did not mean to imply that all
truckers are ignorant. However, even those who drive agree that there are
a sizable number who can't read or can't follow a map. You live in a
highly regulated state. Here, in my county, for example, there are no
building codes for non-public buildings and my licensed electrician, who I
admire and trust, cannot read and admits it. Only 19% of my state has a
degree beyond high school and a sizable number have never completed high
school so we have a large number who are functionally illiterate. It is a
serious problem in some areas.

While some companies have strict policies and training, there are many
independent truckers and drivers in this area who are not under such rules
nor benefit from company training.

want to clarify a few stereotypes and misconceptions

I, for one, know you are right, Sue. The few drivers I have known well
were
all hard-working upstanding citizens, except for my ex-daughter-in-law
who got
a CDL to drive a truck hauling gravel while she was still married to my
son.
She is an extremely bright woman, even if a total b*****. The bottom
line is
that stereotypes are usually wrong.
If there is something wrong at FedEx ground, it probably starts with the
management. I didn't even know there was such - the FedEx I have used
regularly
over at least 15 years has worked very well for me, and the drivers have
been
very bright, steady fellows. I'm sorry to hear about the problems with
the 
other.
