While that driver definitely shouldn't have done that, what most people don't realize is that their packages go through worse than that on the MILES of conveyor belts they travel on in Memphis. That's why if you ever visit a Fedex location, the workers always push to let them professionally pack your items for you. They are supposed to pack items to withstand up to 150 pounds of pressure (equivalent to being hit over and over by other packages on the conveyor belts). Also they are supposed to withstand falls of up to 6 feet. That's what those packages go through at the HUB, so while I don't condone what that stupid driver did, that package probably went through that kind of abuse already before he even got ahold of it.
