K Williams can you explain what it means to "buy a route".
I've not had experience with that sort of freight ops. -

When I worked for RPS years ago.IF anyone remembers, RPS was a sister company of FEDEX. The union hated us. I hired straight on as a driver. Drivers usually had to purchase the route from the previous driver. I was lucky because the route I had, the guy quit. All the routes were local. Normally, I had 75-150 stops a day. I started around 6-6:30am and didn't finish til 5-6pm. I ran my hinny off. The money was great but #### some days were pure hell. I leased a straight truck, paid for insurance and all maintenance.
Baack Thanks this. -
If I had known I would have applied to UPS instead. Working for FedEx isn't what you think... at least not in big cities. Screw all those nice cozy FedEx commercials. LOL. Doesn't matter anymore. I'm in a job I love now. -
"purchase that area/route" whiz on that!
What kind of money are we talking about? I can usually find work without paying MY money for the privilege of working for some one. Just like a union job. -
I used to work for FedEx (freight) till I got FedUp. It used to be the best when it was American Freightways but after FedEx took over it went down hill big time for the driver.

DHL is the same way . The only sell multiple routes but employees driving those routes ratified a Teamster contract a few months ago . Thousands of DHL employees have lost their jobs since then. DHL contracted out air shipping to UPS .
