THE SPOTS
In "Cargo Train" (:30), FedEx and UPS drivers glare at each other while stuck at a railroad crossing. As they do so, a train speeds by, hauling a fleet of new yellow DHL delivery trucks. In the :30 "The Race," a UPS driver and a FedEx driver speed through a city to deliver packages to the same business, only to find that DHL has beaten them both. And in "Vacation" (:30), a FedEx worker is bombarded with reminders of DHL’s growing presence wherever he goes on his holiday.
