FedEx Ground Linehaul with JohnBoy

It just depends on customer needs, we have a couple big accounts that get trailers daily or multiple times a week that may have extra empties so we take a dolly with us when they are getting a single pup to bring an empty set back.

I always leave both sides open and block them off when just pulling a pup and dolly out of habit, but i can see why others would just open the emergency side..

 

Just curious, do you ever get a heavy trailer? If so, how do they rework them?

 

FedEx ground doesn’t have heavy trailers. It’s all single boxes. The trailers are light. Only time you switch is if the back trailer is just way to light.

 

Sorry. Meant to say if the rear trailers is way heavier than front, then you switch them. Other than that, they don’t rework trailers.

 

I thunk that's what you meant. Heavier to the front.

 

I have a question that I never knew where to ask. You guys would probably know.

Is the floor of this type trailer flat or depressed? If they are depressed do they just stack boxes on top of boxes?

 

fill the belly with freight and fold down the flooring and load over the top.
