Yeah. We have one seniority board here so you just hire as a driver then as you build seniority you have more and more options but when you're new you don't have much of a choice..
It usually takes a few years to run line-haul with a bid a most terminals because a lot of drivers want it. It took me 4 years..

I have worked for both and what I can tell you at fedex ground I worked team driving otr. what I didnt like was trying to sleep while the jake break is going off or your dumb ### partner hits the breaks hard and sends you into the front seat.and you better hope you get along well with them or its a long drive. the othe is lay overs if you dont get a dispatch by noon sat you may have to sit till tuesday. 27 hours of sitting in a truck is no fun and no pay. conway I was hired as a LTL driver but all I drove was 62 miles a day the rest of the 10 hours was all dock work.

that is a rough mike,yeah I know all too well about team drivin..........it is just not about drivin that is for sure

I worked for both myself and I'm still at fedex right now I think between them it depends on ur terminal . They ur treated and the type of work u will do , I never did otr just ltl with both and fedex is a lil better when it comes to what they expect u to do . But they both have good benefits....
jakebrake12 Thanks this. -
I hope you're gonna be alright with the merger man.. Been through the uncertainty myself when my terminal was closed and had to move 130 miles to keep my job - worked out in the end with where I'm at now but it's tough to say the least.. -
Eventually I think they will close our terminal in about two or three yrs and have us go to the baltimore terminal anyway , were jus like 10 or 15 miles away from them . But still thank you for the support. -
