How does FedEx delivery service work?

FedEx states that it has more than half a million employees who participate in the delivery of consumer and business products throughout the world. FedEx’s shipping services include the following:

  • FedEx Ground
  • FedEx Freight
  • FedEx Services
  • FedEx Logistics
  • FedEx Office

It is not only these services that may be driving through York. Many local deliveries involve independent companies that purchase a FedEx Route. Route owners generally use their own trucks and vans to make deliveries from FedEx warehouses or affiliates to local homes and businesses within a specific geographic region. FedEx does help the route owner by providing marketing and other FedEx services.

FedEx competes with many other delivery companies, such as Amazon and Walmart, which increases the need to place profits over safety.

What types of accidents do FedEx trucks cause in York, PA?

Our York Fed Ex truck accident lawyers represent injury victims and the families of loved ones who die in truck accidents in all types of accidents, including the following:

  • Blindspot accidents. Most FedEx trucks are box trucks or vans that do not have rear windows or side windows that extend the length of the vehicle. This means that truck drivers need to rely on their mirrors and any existing camera technology to see behind their trucks and to the sides of the trucks. FedEx truck drivers who fail to use extreme caution when changing lanes or turning are likely to cause an accident.
  • Backing out accidents. FedEx drivers need to be extra careful when backing out of neighborhoods or delivery spots.
  • Cargo accidents. Cargo that is not properly secured can move around when a FedEx truck is in transit, causing the driver to lose control.
  • Other types of accidents that are common to trucks. These include jackknife accidents, rollovers, underride accidents, and wide-turn accidents.
  • Other types of accidents are common to all vehicles. These include rear-end collisions, head-on crashes, multiple-vehicle accidents, single-vehicle accidents, and intersection accidents.
