It’s apparently YouTube week on It’s Evansville. This video was done by a delivery driver who does routes in Henderson. FedEx is apparently a happening place these days.

I have met this man before. He is a FedEx delivery man in Henderson. He was delivering packages at work one day, and performed part of this rap for us. He is a very nice, polite man who can be seen driving around Henderson in a FedEx truck!

I know this guy…can’t put my finger on where though! He mentioned in the rap, “south of the river…Henderson, KY…” Sounds like an Evansville guy to me.

somehow he looks familiar….I can’t believe he did this seriously though, by that I mean that he didn’t start cracking up at one point—I would have!

Anyone get the feeling this will be in a training video someday for someone starting at FedEX?

I work for FedEx and think it is great that some of us have a sense of humor. I have worked for them over 20 years and “if you can’t have some fun or don’t like your job, you shouldn’t be there”.

I thought this was cleaver and good. I like it because any age should be able to relate to this new age rapping.
Thanks for something new up todate and so cool.

Now this has to be one of the new Fed Ex commercials, it’s fresh, it screams new age and he’s a great representative for Fed Ex Corporation! I loved it!

I’m at WHQ in Memphis, TN with Express and I think this is awsome. He did a great job and you bet this is gonna get passed around corp. AND yes, do make this a commercial!
Great job!
And many thanks!

This guy must be a shill for Fed Ex ground. I work for the Brown company and the many FEDXGRD drivers I know never Rap but do however always ask if UPS is hiring

I would be more impressed if I would ever see a Ground driver with his seatbelt on, his door closed and his phone turned off.
Shawna
April 17, 2008 @ 04:53PM
This is awesome! I love it and agree this would make an excellent FedEx Commercial. I imagine ‘koala bear’ would feel differently about the seatbelt on/door closed/cell phone off thing after delivering a route for even half a day. There’s no time for seat belts and closing the door. These guys are in and out of buildings like lightning every day because the job demands it. I’m impressed!

Never see UPS drivers with rap skills… the union would never approve it ! It promotes a fun work environment !
However I must say the DHL guys have a much better Gansta look !
