UPS or FedEx Freight???????

They don't just don't care. His health and memory hasn't been right either. He can't remember anything about the accident other than he said he remembered hearing the brakes squalling and he woke up. They've done nothing but harass him since the accident. Instead of stepping up and doing the right thing for a good employee they just tossed him.

 

What is micromanagement?

 

When the boss hangs over your every move, never letting you just do your job.

 

I work for UPS and we have a few guys from FXF that were hired on here not that long ago. Either company your gonna make a decent living so go with the best fit for you and the family. FXF is not the best carrier out there and neither is UPS.

 

The problems is the higher seniority could take your spot where ur assigned to drive. I drive for fedex freight for 2 years now. We have former ups/conway drivers in our terminal. I used to run to pocono summit terminal by i-380 from snow shoe. 300 miles every night. Forced to do dock work at pocono unless if I have syracuse via. Since old folks took over my spot, I was forced to chose harrisburg run, 246 miles per night. BS dock work, do intermodal runs when available. 58 cents a mile. paid task. Under elogs now. Most terminals are corrupt by idiots stacking freight on top of hazmat, not secruing decked freights, not putting a bar behind/front of tall freight. Not the best carrier and neither UPS.

 

i'll take micromanagement any day over POOR management, abusive, rude or selfish treatment from managers/co-workers and backstabbing......... Some of which i've had to unfortunately endure to some degree at some of the jobs i've had........

 

I didn't sign my application to do dock working bs mess. I applied to drive trucks and gain experience. I won't mind have runs to youngstown but it will probably take years to get higher seniority. I'll consider to quit and prepare my blue t600 ready otr for next year

 

You have UPS and UPS Freight confused. Ups is union and the will never hire a truck driver from applying. But only from within. UPS freight is non union, and is the LTL division of UPS.

They were union before ups bought them out. An outfit called Overnight. Witch UPS bought to compete with FedEx after they bought American Freightways.

Now if one could get on with UPS and work about 7-10 yrs before you could get a feeder run position. It would be great, but that's a long time to wait.

However FedEx freight is the better choice.

 

UPS Freight is also union. They don't make as much as package but they did vote in the union not long after they bought overnight.
