"Can @FedEx put out an official statement into the dismissal of 2 employees after they filmed themselves being harassed and discriminated by a customer?" one person tweeted. "What were the grounds of this dismissal?" 

Another said, " Y’all are trash and racist ! I’ll continue to find other ways to get my parcels shipped to me @UPS @amazon @USPS @DHLUS will always be available!" tweeting to FedEx directly.

"From now on, if I need a package delivered overnight, I'll be using the USPS instead of FedEx," another person tweeted. Adding," We DON'T NEED FedEx to fire Black guys for standing up to racist jerks" and including the hashtag #BoycottFedex, which now has several thousand tweets pointing to this incident. 

The local sheriff’s office confirmed to CNBC that the Leesburg Police Department responded to the incident, though they could not be reached for comment.  

FedEx told the publication in a statement that the drivers had been employed by an independent service provider. FedEx confirmed with the contractor that “the drivers are no longer providing service on behalf of FedEx Ground.”

FedEx said that they take any allegations of discrimination, retaliation, or improper employment actions seriously and would “be conducting a thorough investigation into these claims.”

“While we conduct this investigation FedEx will provide employment for these drivers,” the company said.
