Authorities Say a FedEx Driver Dumped Hundreds of Packages Into an Alabama ravine

A FedEx truck is parked at the FedEx Ship Center on September 22, 2021 in Los Angeles, California. FedEx said drivers who dumped packages into the Alabama gorge at least six times were no longer with the company.

Suppose there is a supply chain blockage, so you order personal necessities and holiday gifts ahead of time. And let’s say the packets made it to the last link, only for the delivery driver to dump them into the local gorge.

Unfortunately, that’s not a hypothetical scenario for some 450 people in Alabama, where authorities are investigating FedEx drivers for dumping trucks full of packages.

The Blount County Sheriff’s Office, in the north-central part of the state, said last Wednesday that between 300 and 400 boxes “of varying sizes” had been found in privately owned forest areas.

FedEx sent trucks and drivers from across the South that day to begin the package recovery process, he added. Photos posted to Facebook show boxes strewn across a steep ravine, several trucks lined up in the woods and assorted packages crammed into the back of the truck.

On Monday, Sheriff Mark Moon said the driver – who has not been named – had been identified and being questioned. He urged the media and the public to be patient as investigators tackle the case, which he described as a “catastrophe”.



Se descubrió que los conductores “tiraron al menos seis veces”, lo que dejó a FedEx como víctima de seis casos diferentes de robo de propiedad, anunció Moon en una actualización el martes.

“Hasta la fecha hemos visto alrededor de 450 víctimas individuales, algunas en el condado de Blount y otras no, que los investigadores están tratando de resolver sus casos”, agregó. “Este no será un caso fácil o rápido de cerrar”.

FedEx dijo en un correo electrónico a NPR que la compañía ha revisado la situación y está cooperando con las fuerzas del orden, y que la persona involucrada ya no es empleada de FedEx Ground.

“Lamentamos los inconvenientes que esta situación ha causado y agradecemos la comprensión de nuestros clientes durante el proceso de recuperación de paquetes”, agrega el comunicado. “Siempre que sea posible, los paquetes recuperados se entregan a los destinatarios previstos. En caso de una entrega defectuosa, haremos todo lo posible para trabajar con el remitente afectado para llegar a una solución”.

La compañía dirige a los clientes con cualquier pregunta a rastrear sus envíos en línea.
