Fed Ex Ground SLC, not surprised but wow!

Trust me, EVERYONE at Freight views them in the same light. Rude, inconsiderate drivers that clearly take no pride in being a courteous professional driving junk #########. Ground contractors definitely seem to hire drivers with a "meat in the seat" mentality. I think this is due to Ground not having a safety department for drivers since the only part of linehaul they seem to oversee is the dispatch/arrival of trailers.

FXF's safety department is very rigid and strong. When they say "Safety above all", those guys mean it. I know of a dispatcher being fired for giving a driver grief about putting in delay time for bringing a trailer to the shop to have a marker light out. The dispatcher asked if it was really necessary to bring it to the shop for a marker light, instead of running it and writing it up at the destination. Well, wouldn't you know, the driver called the 800 line to report it and the dispatcher's job was posted within 72 hours.

 

FxG could have changed the RPS business model but didn't do so, likely because of "costs". Which are coming home to roost.

My dealings with FxF and UPS HR have not been terribly impressive. The FxG contractors I've spoken with have been more honest and less corporate dickish. But it is low margin and a stepping stone for many, so turnover.

 

It terrifies me to think what I might do for a 280 million bribe.

 

It's not $280 million bribe. It's total sum of money those contractors got from FedEx Ground with Ryan in position. Some money was absolutely legal but some not.

 

Is the "wouldn't do" list shorter?

 

Everyone came here for a better life. Those who abuse it should be punished.

 

It looks blank.
