Ex Fedex Driver Breaks Down The Heist
A former FedEx driver explains that modern FedEx trucks use RFID wristband technology to lock and unlock doors automatically, making it extremely difficult to leave a truck unlocked. He claims he never left a truck unlocked during his tenure, and discusses the lack of internal and external cameras on FedEx vehicles.
Summary
In this interview segment, an ex-FedEx driver discusses security features of FedEx delivery trucks in response to questions about a heist. The driver explains that modern FedEx trucks are equipped with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology that has been in use for at least 10 years. Rather than using traditional keys, drivers wear an RFID wristband that automatically unlocks doors when bumped against them, and the doors automatically lock when closed. The driver contrasts this with what the interviewer imagines as older technology involving manual latches and key twists. When asked directly how many times he left a truck unlocked during a year of 300+ delivery days (tens of thousands of packages), the driver states he never did so. When pressed further about leaving a truck unlocked for 60-90 minutes, he again emphatically states this never happened. The conversation then shifts to surveillance, with the driver indicating there are no cameras inside or outside FedEx trucks, though his answer appears to be cut off mid-response.
