Fedex != Fedex Freight
I have had fedex "heavyweight" boxes trashed, but have never had an
issue with Fedex Freight. They show up with a liftgate or box truck,
and a pallet jack. If your load is not palletized, they put it on
one in the truck.
I think Fedex Freight is a bit more in the "heavy moving" industry
than Fedex, agreed.
