You know, I was at the J in Pontoon Beach,Ill the other day and I witnessed from looked like a shakedown of a Fed driver by an co. inspector, from what I can tell.A gray-haired guy in a nice Sprinter with a rv-type awning on the roof pulls up to a Fed guy in another sprinter and performs, what I can tell, an inspection of the van, inside and out.It appeared to be a heated conversation outside with something to do about the driver having magnetics on the doors.He then moved on to another Fed vehicle in the truck lot.

The question is this: Was what I saw for real,a Fed employee inspector of some kind, on the road, or am I just mis-interpreting what I saw to begin with? Just curious, that's all.

I don't happen to agree with the above comments...it is just another example of Fedex babysitting...I would not allow him near my truck unless it is spelled out in the contract...

Moose, my wife is still upset that the new refrigerator she got last August won't hold a magnet; it's stainless steel, so, they won't stick.
