Nah, he just read about the mathematically optimal way to pack 17 boxes and wanted to try it himself.
Do the drivers load the truck? I doubt it.
They don’t.
Someone else at the company loads everything and the driver just does the route and drops off the stuff.
Used to have a friend that worked as a UPS driver, she didn’t have good days when the asshole did this instead of organizing it while loading the truck
This is exactly why everything ever shipped to me by fedex is late.
Also because they send fucking everything to Memphis, I had a package that would have been an hour drive take 3 days because of fucking Memphis
UPS does the same thing just with Louisville.
That’s just standard hub and spoke shipping.
Uh, ya, that’s how it works.
It went to the same airport twice… Thats called wasting jet fuel to send a package halfway across the country when it could have been sorted locally
That’s how all major shipping companies work. Because it saves fuel/time/money.
I just had this happen. A package of mine showed up at a port a few hours drive from me, then it was shipped to the opposite coast, then on to Memphis where it’s been sitting for a couple days. Presumably at some point they’ll ship it back to my state where it started from to actually deliver it.
No no. Quick detour to Australia first. Then we’re thinking about testing shipping to the moon and back. Maybe it won’t come back. You remember what happened to Buzz Aldrin. They went to the moon, he took one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.
Then his crew said “YOLO!!! SEEYA LATER BUZZ BUZZ!!!” and they left him on the moon. Later in the 90s, he came back as a bumblebee in a short lived role in the video game Earthbound. He dies. Almost immediately.
Have fun with tracking your package!
Remember a couple of years ago when fed ex drivers got caught dumping packages in the forest and leaving them there? Yeah, that’s FedEx.
That’s just because they took an off ramp on two wheels.
If he fills the row the parcels will dissapear. So all is good.
That’s how my wife packs the freezer.
Then there’s decent airflow in there
If you’re adding a lot of stuff at once this is good
Don’t let it get that warm in first place? Bring insulated buckets when you get your groceries.
Sometimes I’m putting refrigerated stuff into the freezer, like bulk meats, not transporting frozen goods.
Freezer needs good airflow otherwise the coils will ice over. Same for the fridge only things have to get really bad there for ice to form.
The stand up ones are great for this
If everything is cold, there’s no need for airflow in the middle.
Why do you think bulk stuff is frozen together and packed as tightly as possible?
Ice over is a byproduct of humidity from opening and closing the doors.
You don’t understand how a freezer works, you need to look up the difference between convection and conduction. A freezer relies primarily on convection and without airflow you’re not getting that hence the coils at the back freeze while the food at the front thaws.
??? Apparantly you don’t.
If you put everything in the center, so there’s airflow around the entire freezer, but the middle is packed solid, there’s the required airflow to prevent what you’re talking about. But optimizes the cooling and minimizes freezer damage from defrost cycles. Since the middle won’t defrost….
I never said it was packed solid tight you couldn’t stick anything else in. I said the middle specifically, not all over. You should never have anything against the sides of your freezer anyways? Have you not read a manual for one ever? Same for your fridge as well.
If you put everything in the center, so there’s airflow around the entire freezer [emphasis added]
This entire thing started by saying a freezer needs airflow, which you then countered by saying as long as it was frozen you don’t need airflow, and now you’re back peddling by saying you do need airflow. Good to see you actually agreed with every thing I said this whole time but inexplicably couldn’t communicate that.
FedEx Ground? Checks out. I’ve worked for companies that banned shipping through them because of the insanely high breakage rate.
Given how terrible almost every FedEx driver I’ve met is, this was probably at his first stop 1/4 of a mile after leaving the depot.
Very on brand: FedEx sucks!
