I bet Biscuit is still on the road. I felt the same way. After two years doing something else and battling to make a living I'm back on the road. It's a curse brother. Diesel in the veins is a curse, but I LOVE IT. Keep on trucking. Don't let them get you down!!!.
I'm Done!!

There's nothing wrong with you, Biscuit- you chose an "Anal Retentive" employer. Just like a cold, faceless and unemotional machine, they believe you cause all the problems they have to deal with. Unfortunately, that's what you get for the pay and benefits- abuse and criticism.

Am I the only one worried about Biscuit? Last board activity was 3 days ago. The wreck was 2 days ago. It looks like he is from Ohio south of Cleveland and meets for a trailer exchange in Beckley. The wreck happened north of Charleston on I-77. Driver was OK but went to the hospital. I sure hope Biscuit drives at night.

"Fedex" Is a corporation with quite a few divisions. Obviously you worked for either Ground or Freight. Work for Express. Its pretty hard to lose you're job unless you're an idiot and falsify your time card or a delivery or truck damage. For everything else, they have a process that you would end up having to keep repeating the issues before you end up getting fired. You wouldnt be driving tractor/trailer unless you want part time.

I'll still be driving for the time being. I would like to find something else. Applied for an off road hauling job for a local quarry. Also waiting on a spot at Old Dominion if it opens up. Come January the Operating Engineers local takes apps. I always thought operating heavy equipment or running a crane would be good. And at 29.95/hr, a journeymans wage and union benefits sound good.
But, until all that works out, it's still in the ole' FedEx Ground truck. I work 9 hours a day and make good money, can't give that up because I'm mad...LSAgentOZR, 48Packard, wsyrob and 1 other person Thank this. -

envayne Thanks this. -
Buscuit...we're all glad you weren't involved. Thanks for checking in.
If it's any consolation, I'm in day four of an unexpected five-day break (down)...turbo bearing failed, so I'm not making any money (other than breakdown pay), just four days after a six-day time-at-home. So my give-a-dam is damaged right now....
May ain't-a-gonna be too good...and June ain't lookin' great to begin with.
