I work for FedEx Freight in the Atlanta area, as a city driver. I haven't got more than 35 hours a week since last July. They have cut out all overtime. The pay and benefits are good, but the hours just aren't there. FedEx Freight is not worth the trouble. My last day with FedEx is this Friday.
what's going on with fedex freight?

Come to think of it, I haven't seen much of FedEx Freight here in Montana either. I saw one truck pulling doubles... Looked like a O/O rig though. I wonder if they are either really slow right now, or if they are pushing their runs to O/O.

oh goody, another UPS strike, the rest of us will pick up the slack while you guys wear holes in your shoes on the picket line. Then they can hire the bottom feeders to to run their equipment from the UPS terminal to the rail, I'll guarentee you UPRR/BNSF will be salivating at a strike as will Fedex, and others. UPS lost tens of millions in business the last strike, it'll happen again.

Very true. Have not seen a fedex truck for weeks. I stay west. Maybe they're running east.

Since of am gone in few days what can they do to me? Make me sit at home? I have alt of practice doing that. I am leaving fedex freight and going to a tanker company. Guess i should explain what has been going on and such. First i loved working with fedex freight. I been here 8.5 years. Wanted to be retired from here. A few years ago fedex freight bought walkins freight. Was fine. 2 years ago they decide to merge both companies into one. Keep everyone and still have priority and economy freight. But not enough work for everyone. So last July they did buy out. So my yard lost 3 drivers. We al thinking ok cool we start working. Wrong. I have not worked 1 solid week since July 2012. Few weeks (7 times) i got 3-4 days in a week. Mostly its every Friday. All want Friday off cause can enjoy weekend. January came and everyone saying ok layoff or buyouts. Wrong nothing happened. Oh they said things get better in march. Will not i swear. Since will not get buy out i gave fedex freight my two week notice i am leaving. Its with a heavy heart that i must leave fedex freight so i can work and take care of my fame. Getting u
unemployment not cover when i shod be bringing home 1000 a week at least here.superior carriers here i come. Will update as i train. That's for all the kind words of encouragement. Will pray for a ll drivers things get better. I told fedex freight i would come back if there's work and current terminal manager is not there any more. Love u all and good luck.NavigatorWife and limpydriver Thank this. -
Look how much striking helped the bakers union. Hostess went under, the bakers lost all their jobs, and I don't have anymore d*** Twinkies. It is a lose/lose/lose situation all around. But hey, anytime there is demand for a product/service, but nobody's providing the supply, eventually someone else will fill in the shoes and benefit from it.Last edited: Feb 28, 2013
