	Roadway: Summary Guide to Cargo Claim Liability
		Roadway operation is not set up to handle or control this type of shipment.
		If a released value is not declared by the shipper on the bill of lading, Roadway liability in the case of loss or damage may be the lowest released value stated in Roadway Tariffs 100 or 301.
		This statement must identify the shipment and should be supported with a copy of the bill of lading or Roadway freight bill, a copy of an inspection report if one was performed, and a copy of the vendor's original invoice or other document to establish the value of the goods.

	Roadway Package System, Inc., Case 31-RC-7267
		Roadway I, 288 NLRB at 198, the Board stated that the drivers “bear few of the risks and enjoy little of the opportunities for gain associated with an entrepreneurial enterprise” and Roadway had “substantial control over the manner and means” of performance by their drivers.
		Roadway pays the drivers and they are responsible for the withholding and the payment of their own Federal, state, and local taxes.
		Roadway stresses that two items in the 1994 Agreement—the driver’s proprietary interest in his service area and his right to sell all or part of his area to the “highest bidder”—allow the drivers to influence their profits like entrepreneurs.

	Patent 4832204: Package handling and sorting system
		While systems, and related hardware, have been developed for the cost effective handling of most types of freight, the transportation of smaller items of freight, particularly small packages, that is, those weighing about one hundred pounds or less, remains a vexing problem.
		In the package handling system contemplated by the invention, upon initial receipt at the origin terminal 22, a package 38 is placed on a conveyor belt where it is subjected to a laser scan of the barcode label 30 to determine the package's identification number.
		When a particular package is carried to a point adjacent to a chute 50 corresponding to its destination area, a solenoid operated tip device 52 is activated, causing the tray 48 to tip as shown at 54, discharging the package 38 into the chute 50.

		Guideline : 511 systems should be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is recognized that systems will not always be “operated” 24/7. In instances when the system is providing static, pre-recorded messages, systems should inform the caller that it is outside normal operating hours.

		With less than 1 percent of FedEx Ground’s packages traveling by air, NLRB Region 29 Director Alvin Blyer noted that the subsidiary does not perform services principally for the air carrier, nor are its operations an integral part of the FedEx transportation system.
		Accordingly, he found that “FedEx Ground is clearly an employer subject to the NLRA [National Labor Relations Act], and that it is unnecessary to refer this jurisdictional question to the NMB [National Mediation Board],” which has oversight under the Railway Labor Act (RLA).
		Specifically, the NLRB ruled that all full-time and part-time package handlers, quality assurance clerks, check-in clerks and data-entry clerks at the employer’s Maspeth, New York, facility constitute a bargaining unit under the NLRA.
