Re: Fed Ex Shipment

Of course we are.  More accurately, we are seeing the effects of ever increasing regulation, and public hysteria.  In our industry, we were able to ship 1.4 explosives by regular UPS ground until a few years ago.  There was never an accident I know of, but that is gone now, too.

No, you are not seeing the unfortunte effects of a broader, terrorism-related caution by these carriers.

 

A carrier has the right to choose the commodities they will transport.  Many carriers have not accepted radioactive materials for years.  It is an issue of training, compliance management, liability, insurance and other factors.

Hmm . . . so 49 CFR-compliant hazmat shipping is a refutable privilege and not a right?  Are we seeing the unfortunate effects of a broader, terrorism-related caution by these carriers?
