Does FedEx have more than one truck delivering to a location?

[Inspector Jihad]

My phone is supposed to come in today and I really need it ASAP. I saw a FedEx truck in my complex but it didn't stop at my house. My tracking does show that it was loaded on a truck from a distribution center that is not the one close to my house...so I'm wondering if FedEx has multiple trucks delivering to the same place. Seems inefficient...

yes they do. it's not inefficient. sometimes it's more efficient for routes to cross and what not. remember. no left turns and crap might do things to the route planning algorithms...

oh ok good. so there is still hope that i'll get my phone today.

yeah, they use supercomputers to direct the routes
