Bad Roads Mean FedEx Burns Through Tires Twice as Fast
Roads are not cheap to maintain. But bad roads have financial ramifications, too -- they're just pushed onto another party.
Fred Smith, CEO of FedEx, sat down with members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to discuss the state of US roads. The portrait he painted was grim at best.
"Over the past 20 years, our over-the-road vehicles' tire utilization has been cut in half. So we're using almost 100 percent more tires to produce the same mileage of transportation," Smith said. "Why is that? Because the road infrastructure has so many potholes in it it's tearing up tires faster than what was the case before."
