  1. Retreads are used on heavy jets all the time. the max limit is six retread cycles per carcass typically. Retreads are a good choice and should work just fine especially if you are trying to save a little.

  2. The vehicle total you quoted was Express only.

    I simply pointed out that added with Ground division vehicles, FedEx actually has as many branded trucks on the road as UPS.

    You are correct, my mistake...

    Added: The real issue is UPS has been unsuccessful in splitting their airline out from their trucking business. If they did that, they would easily fall under the RLA, which protects interstate commerce. In reality, they should be under the RLA for their airline. Since UPS cannot get out from under the union they decided to lobby congress to change the law to affect one company who happens to be their only US competitor.

  3. Add > 50,000 Ground Vehicles to the FedEx "not a trucking company" total

    - OS

    I appreciate your opinion but you should check your facts. The information is available on both UPS and FedEx on their respective investors relations web pages.

  4. FedEx fleet: FedEx Express | About FedEx

    UPS fleet: UPS Fact Sheet - UPS Pressroom

    Started as a trucking company and added an airline division which should be separated from the trucking company and reclassified under the RLA.

  5. Last year several states passed laws telling companies that they could not stop you from having a gun locked in your car while parked in their parking lot. As a result, my company sent out revised firearm policies for those states. There is a bill that has been kicked around for a couple of years in TN to do the same. It has never made it to the floor. Maybe next term it will.
