    You have a YRC terminal close? Lots of union bs, but you will do much better than fed wrecks. They have started there own training programs taking entry level people. You already have endorsements. Should be a slam dunk in this market.

    The pay at yellow is horrible in comparison to Fedex. Like 17 an hour before and during training and then 23 after. Reminds me of my current employment.. low paying union work.

    It’s my 4th week at FedEx Freight. I applied to be a City Driver Apprentice but I’m going road first chance I get

    I’m at the PHL terminal in Chester Springs, PA. and FedEx is hiring at top rate which is $32.95/HR. I’m in the que for a trainer but I’m currently working the dock overnight at the moment…. It sucks but if your City P&D and want extra overtime… the dock is where you’ll mostly get it

    like I said… I’m going road first chance I get… I’m gonna have to tough it out On the extra board

    the good news is I just got my Class A CDL today upgrading from my Class B I was already in trucking school before FedEx was even on my radar

    good to hear bud, just waiting on my drug screen to go thru then its off to the “panel” for a final decision. ill be on the extra board for awhile as well.. and since its a small facility I could be there awhile. HAS to be better then this living paycheck to paycheck bs. Also fedex said id get 26.50 until my training is finished, then top rate. Are you getting top rate off the bat?

    No I’m getting $27.83/hr… I suspect it’s higher because of the snobby area we are in and the cost of living is higher

    Have you ever worked for FXF? Because from where I'm standing, it's obvious you don't know goose crap from tapioca.
