If you'll allow me a bit of devil's advocacy here, I'll offer a comment that our carrier might offer if they posted here.

Each of the FedEx operating companies(OPCO)are separate and distinct from the other. Although there is some cross pollination when it comes to providing a product tailored to a shippers' requirements, each OPCO has it's own President and each OPCO is protecting it's own bottom line with policies and procedures peculiar to that company.

I've heard of some drivers that want to buy fuel and use the repair, maintenance and DOT inspection facilities at FedEx Ground and Freight terminals. I doubt that these facilities have a license that allows the retail sale of fuel, or would even entertain the headaches required to obtain such a license from each of dozens of jurisdictions. Additionally, if we could buy fuel at these facilities, we'd loose out on the FSC and limit our procurement options. Not much difference on the maintenance issues. To whom would you complain for unacceptable work?
