Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

One of our guys just said once FXF goes union he plans to jump ship. And I agree FXF is above CWF

 

If the union's in, I'm out. Without question.

 

So, I have to update my rant from a week and half ago (sent out on a trip to do a first setup of a new restaurant and turned around 200 miles in because the restaurant wasn't close to being ready.
Turns out that the load (that I left for on a tuesday) didn't end up leaving until friday.

But payday was friday and my pay stub showed I got paid for all the pieces. I made like $500 for driving 420 miles and even getting to sleep in my own bed.
So I guess I can't rant too much.

 

I meant leave us and go work for them

 

Funny, after 18 1/2 years with a non union carrier my next job will only come with a Union card

 

Fedex is very anti-union and they brain wash upon hiring. When I did temp work at FDX ground if you mentioned the "u" word you were put under the radar lol

 

I worked for FedEx Ground and FedEx Express. At Ground I ran teams and pulled doubles it was pretty easy money. I never had any problem with them. Express was tough. I worked really hard every day but they treated me good and it was hard to get fired. I worked for an OTR company called TLI before they were sold and all we did was FXF loads. They were really laid back at all the terminals I went to. I never had a problem with them ever and they were friendly. Their drivers seemed to like it there as well, I talked to them all the time. I'll say that i do believe FXF runs a tighter ship but not nearly as bad as UPSF. All UPS seem to treat their employees like dirt!

 

Curious why you didn't try out FXF for a bit, PM me or IM on spacebook.

Congratulations for keeping current employer ?!?
