FedEx Freight

I have buddies that work at FedEx so I know how you're paid. I can break a set and hook a set in 15mins so the $16.40 comes out pretty good. Even if it takes a guy 30 mins to drop and hook a set, which it never should he'd be making $32.80 on the hour. I'm not sure how you're coming up with $16 an hour.

 

I actually wondered that myself after you posted about going there for XPO a few weeks ago, so I looked it up. It's just some dirt lot that's shared with oilfield equipment: Google Maps

Unless that's the XPO meet...the address for the FedEx meet doesn't seem to exist, but it should be somewhere around there.

 

In my profile picture.

 

It doesn't take an a #### hour to hook a set so it's not $16 an hour.

 

I understand how FedEx pays but again it doesn't take anywhere near an hour to drop and hook a set. If I drop and hook 3 sets in an hour of onduty time then what was my hourly rate? I understand FedEx is paying more on activity pay but our rate isn't $16 an hour. I will take our activity pay, no dock work and my 70mph tractor and be happy. If you're happy with what you get paid then we're all happy!

 

The Belfield Super Pumper is a pretty nice place, except when the OTR trucks give you a dirty look for dropping along the side of the building.

In some ways I’ll miss working at XPO, but in others I’m glad I’m not there anymore. I’ll probably start a thread on Cross Country Freight at some point soon.
Hopefully you’re doing well.

 

I'm not taking it personal bud and like I said I know what your activity pays so I wasn't questioning that. You be safe out there.
